Folding@Home Client Shutdown.

So far, there has been only one error report -- from a Linux machine and not from Gary480six.

[Gary480six]

This machine is not at my home. I asked the guy that is running it to delete the queue.dat, the unitinfo.txt and the work folder. That used to be enough to get a Folding PC assigned different work. This time it did not. Still getting that same P6095 and still failing at 0%.

If I recall, the last step is to also change your machine ID number - but it's been so long I've forgotten how.

Is it using the -config switch - and setting the new number is somewhere in there?

[Joe_H]

If I recall correctly, deleting the file machinedependent.dat is how you change your ID number on the V6 client.

[Gary480six]

OK - I was right. I checked one of my local systems running the version 6.34 SMP client. In order to get to the machine ID number (the default is 1) you have to add the -configonly switch to the target line of your program launcher.
There in the advanced settings, is the machine ID number setting.

However, the guy running that system will not be able to get back to it till Monday. And when he does, he will have no choice but to dump that P6095 R7 C28 G49 work unit.

Is there a way to alert Stanford to this issue? Hopefully there is a way they can kick a given work unit back into production before the final deadline has passed?

[7im]

-config only changes the Client ID.

deleting the file changes the Machine ID, hence the file name.

Delete the work folder, and delete the machinedependent.dat, then start the client. Should get new work unit.

Not in FAH V6.xx. Something like that was added in V7 but it's still not 100%.

[Gary480six]

Bruce - Nothing in version 6. OK thanks - that work unit will just have to time out on it's own.

7im - I looked at two different Windows 7 computers that used the No-Install version FAH6.34-win32-SMP client.

One that is currently Folding SMP work units and one that was - up until about six months ago.

I did not find the machinedependent.dat file in either PC. (nor did the windows search function)

Is it a hidden file? (or perhaps something added in version 7)

[Joe_H]

No, that file is not part of V7. I don't have an old Windows install of V6 to check if the file is hidden or not, on other OS's it was located in the same folder as the downloaded cores and log files. It might be a difference between the regular install and the version you are using.

[7im]

Only linux used the machine file. It was stored in the registry in Windows. If deleting the work folder and changing the Client ID using -config doesn't work in Windows, we can show you where the reg entry is.

[bruce]

It would be a good idea to upgrade your V6 client to V7.
