Hi,

Two days ago <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/results.php?hostid=86867">one of my boxes</a> finished its last run and requested new work. It tried to contact the sheduler and finnaly it downloaded one new result <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=957769">957769</a>. But the result list of this host shows another allocated result <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=957688">957688</a> assigned two minutes earlier but not downloaded by this host.

There are no vestiges of this earlier allocated result and the message output hasn't shown anything that would give any sign that my box tried or failed to download this result 957688. It seems that this result was allocated to my box without any knowledge of this itselfe.

Is there any way to attach these allocated but not downloaded result to the client_state.xml of this host so it is shown as a "ready to compute" workunit?

Ciao

The latest CCv4.45 has some checks to reduce the chance of this happening. A real fix will be coming in a few months and will require server updates as well as client updates.

Thanks John!

But attaching the "lost" result to boinc manually is not possible? No chance?

Ciao

Not until the complete fix comes along.

Once the database has the result marked as being on a particular host there is currently no mechanism to make sure that the host has received it or for the host to request its retransmission.
