Generally, when I look at the memory usage on the machine itself, Rosetta is only claiming to use up around 20 megs. None of the partitions have less than 8 gigs free space - so did that WU really eat up the 8.52 gigs of HD space on the C: partition before erroring out?

From the message log, I see that it's whining about going over 100 megs. Where did it get this value from, since I can't see that representing the settings I've chosen for Boinc&Rosetta.

Is this a change in the way Rosetta handles HD space, or have I just set the Boinc settings wrong for allowing Rosetta to use all but 10 megs of my free hard drive space? I just don't see how 8.6gigs (what I thought I'd set it up to use at the max) and 100megs (what Rosetta picked as the max HD space to use) are equal. After all.. it's eating up more Ram than 100 Megs.

I only have 2c to offer today. But I would just point out that the BOINC controls you have are for all projects. And then these are further divided based on the resource share. So, if R@H were 75% resource share, you're maximum would only be 3/4 of your preference. ...still doesn't explain the 100million bytes number listed.

I've only signed up for Rosetta - and have it set for 100%. 50% of 100% of 10 Gigs should be 5 Gigs, not 100 megs.

Is the memory usage code that was just released looking at HD space, or Ram space? i.e. is this a bug in which the client is looking at the wrong type of memory space used?

list of my results

Perhaps the disk space required for the more frequent checkpointing is taking more than expected in some cases??

I've added a post on Ralph asking them to have a look at this.

From the message log, I see that it's whining about going over 100 megs. Where did it get this value from, since I can't see that representing the settings I've chosen for Boinc&Rosetta.

I have some similar WUs that errored out complaining about 100MB of HD being exceeded:
One with 5.07: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=19606413
One with 5.12: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/result.php?resultid=19714283

There was plenty of HD space, and BOINC is set to use up to 100 Giga-Bytes. I have no idea where the 100 MByte limit came from.

I have seen the stdout.txt file grow to tens of MBytes, although I wasn't watching while these two WUs were crunching.

If that's the source of the error message, it would be nice for the error to state which file is greater than 100 megs, (wait.. 100,000,000 bytes is not 100 megs!)

---

I think there is a limit on the size of your error file. I would have to look this up, but 100MB sounds right.

Well, stderr.txt was only a few lines (you can see it listed in the result links). I guess the 100,000,000 Byte limit applies to stdout.txt as well. I looked at the .xml files and it looks like the limit is specified by the WU itself. There seems to be an "rsc_disk_bound" value that's set to 100000000.

If that's the source of the error message, it would be nice for the error to state which file is greater than 100 megs, (wait.. 100,000,000 bytes is not 100 megs!)

I believe the WU limit is for, well, the WU. So no one file throws it over the limit. It is all of them collectively. And I was thinking perhaps the checkpoint files count as well, and since that's the new player here, that was why I brought it up. Perhaps the checkpoint data is what's throwing it over the size limit.

AMD: did the stdout look like good info? Or more like a loop of repeating messages? Or, actually, back to the project folks, if these results are meaningful and it was just a large number of models produced or a large protein, then perhaps there are cases where the disk space limit needs to be increased. If the results were caused by some sort of loop, then obviously a fix is needed.

It turns out I still have a window open where I did some file listings, and scrolling back I see the stdout.txt file for one of those WUs at 70MB. So it was definitely the stdout.txt file that caused the problem. Unfortunetly, I didn't notice at the time and the file is long gone.

I did take a snapshot of some large stdout.txt files. One was 20MB at 5 hours of crunching. (I use a 10 hour crunch time.) It contained mostly:

...
set_omega:: move not allowed: 81
set_phi:: move not allowed: 81
set_psi:: move not allowed: 81
set_omega:: move not allowed: 81
set_phi:: move not allowed: 81

set_psi:: move not allowed: 81
set_omega:: move not allowed: 81
set_phi:: move not allowed: 81
set_psi:: move not allowed: 81
...

And so on.


Some other stdout.txt files, around 8MB in size, contained stuff like:
