I was not able to finish all my work units on time. But after dedline boinc continue work with that work units... i probably will not get any credit for that workunits, that is somthing that is expected...but why bonic didnt leave that workunits and get new one so my pc can work on somthing usefull...only thing i didnt try is detach/attach (that would probably solve problem but i think boinc should be able to deal with situations like this automaticaly !) What happens with report when boinc try to report workunits after dedline ? server automaticaly erase that report or reject that report at beginning or something else ? |

What are you doing with so many WU's in your cache that they expire? The most I've had in my cache at one time was 14. Every one of those was returned more than a week early. Now my BOINC client is idle and I can't get any WU's. There would probably be several WU's left in my cache if seti had not taken steps to reduce WU hoarding. If you had not been hoarding the problem would not have occurred, so seti took steps to make the process "automatic", now I'm idle and you're crunching expired WU's. |

Dario, don't detach/re-attach but go to the Projects tab in the GUI, rightclick on seti@home and choose Reset Project... That will delete your present cache of out-of-date work units. ---------------------- Jordâ„¢ |

If it has, you will not get credit. If the replacement has not yet been reported, then you both get credit if you match the other WUs returned. The WU is not removed from online storage until after the last deadline has been reached, at which point no more credit will be granted. |
