My computer: 1109774 just had a batch of HadCM3's fail right after initialization.
Is that normal?

This is the erorr code:


<core_client_version>6.10.58</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message>
The drive cannot locate a specific area or track on the disk. (0x19) - exit code 25 (0x19)
</message>
<stderr_txt>
called boinc_finish

</stderr_txt>

I saw this last night and downloaded 3 HadCM 6.04 for myself to check. All crashed after 1 timestep with 25 errors, which is an error type none of my computers had ever produced before. On Linux the models are also producing a 25 exit code but with slightly different error messages in stderr.

I informed Milo last night and he saw what I'd said before he went to bed. He'll probably have to deprecate this whole new batch but is at a meeting today so may not be able to do so immediately.

I recommend we edit our climateprediction preferences in our accounts to exclude HadCM for the time being.

Milo had just removed HadCM from the work queue.

Good. Just wasted time watching three going down the pan.
CM3 version 6.05 is also crashing right after starting in Beta.
May be a while before CM3 gets sorted. The scientists will have to wait.

It's still happening. I had two this morning which crashed out before I knew I'd got them. (That's my CPDN download quota for today.)

I don't know if it's coincidence, but as I write, it's v6.03 applications which have errored, not v6.04.

As I understand it, the fix did not involve an application release, but only a change to the names of the files being downloaded. The v6.03/04 difference is Mac vas Windows/Linux (according to the application page), so maybe the MAc configuration hasn't been patched.

I'll pass the message on.

Both tasks failed with the message Insufficient Memory/Stack Space Available! in the stderr messages. The solution is described in detail here.

Thanks for the link. It's an interesting article. But, on balance of desirability, I've simply edited my CPDN preferences to exclude these tasks.
