Boinc Error Code 161

What worries me is that my wingmen on these WUs completed them successfully, but I didn\'t. I torture-tested my new system with Prime95 for a full day before putting it into production and Prime95 didn\'t find any issues. Also, this new computer is also crunching World Community Grid and those WUs report no prolems. Any ideas?

BOINC error -161 means that the file is not found, probably because it was never (fully) downloaded. At least the information was never written to the client_state.xml file. Check permissions. Check your disk drive for errors. ____________ Jord.

With exception of one thing: When I crunch ATLAS@home tasks, the finished WUs are uploaded, but on the ATLAS homepage, under my results, it shows "computation error". When I look these WUs up in detail, I notice, at the bottom of a long log file, the following: upload failure: ifiKDmgPm9nn7jp7oou28CBqABFKDmABFKDmNxMKDmABFKDm7HlENm_0_ATLAS_result -161 (not found) I posted this in the ATKAS forum, and they told me to look this up here: Check this page http://www.malariacontrol.net/forum_thread.php?id=711 of error codes http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/index.php?view=77&language=1 I got this: ERR_NOT_FOUND -161 This happens when you have an inconsistent client_state.xml file. Files aren't written to it. Task not found would be the error message. Do you BOINC people agree to this? And, in case my client_state.xml file is inconsistent, what can I do? PS: I am crunching not only ATLAS, but also several other projects. No problem with those. So, why only with ATLAS? Would this https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=10949 problem really have to do with this BOINC file?ID: 68924 · AgelessVolunteer moderatorProject administratorHelp desk expertSendmessage Joined: 29 Aug 05Posts: 11090 Message 68925 - Posted: 11 Apr 2016, 20:19:57 UTC - in response to Message 68924. Do you BOINC people agree to this? I wrote the BOINC FAQs. So, yes, wholeheartedly. :-) And, in case my client_state.xml file is inconsistent, what can I do? I'd start with an elevated sfc /scannow before doing a chkdsk /f /r (if Windows at least). PS: I am crunching not only ATLAS, but also several other projects. No problem with those. So, why only with ATLAS? Would this problem really have to do with this BOINC file? You can have a local corruption on the hard drive in the place where the client_state.xml file is. Problem is, the client_state.xml file is the most important file in BOINC, as it stores all the information about all the projects, all the applications and all the tasks, aside from BOINC its state. ATLAS runs with VirtualBox, right? More complications. No, I'd do a thorough check of the file system first, then disk check second. ____________ Jord Ha ha ha ha ha! You can't fool me!

h1_0301.45_S5R4__50_S5GCEa This job went all the way to the finish but I was registered with a Compute Error. I have never had that happen before. Was it correct? The points requested matched the 2 who were credited with the unit. Surely it wouldn't have got to the end with that identical points amount if the computation had gone wrong?

Also on the task with the computation error. When you scroll all the way down you'll find: h1_0301.45_S5R4__50_S5GCEa_1_0 -161 Error code -161 means: "This happens when you have an inconsistent client_state.xml file. Files aren't written to it. Task not found would be the error message." So that's what happened at the time, the file you uploaded & reported was not present in your client_state.xml file. BOINC uses this file to keep track of just about everything on projects and tasks. Sometimes it can happen, due to unforeseen circumstances, that things aren't written into this file. Or that it went partially corrupt. The BOINC client only checks the start and end of the file to see if it's still in one piece, not everything in between, as it won't know at any point what should be in there or not. If everything checks out, the file is sane according to BOINC, even if that means that due to a glitch the data about your task wasn't written into this file. What kinds of glitches? Hard drive problems are the most common. So do a check of your hard drive (with the Windows chkdsk command).
