Last modified: 7 Oct 2012, 0:43:52 UTC I had a machine crash. When I restarted the VM it had a task that had an elapsed time of 30 minutes however progress was at 0.000%. That suggests it didn't resume from its checkpoint. Does the app even do checkpoints and resume from them? Seeing as it wasn't moving after I tried a suspend/resume and waiting 10 minutes I decided to abort it. Link to task here BOINC blog |

Checkpointing should work fine, I tried many various situations when computing somehow crashed and it worked. There might somehow corrupt some files or you had some kind of crash I couldn't simulate. If this has happned only once there should be no worry about it. Sometimes any problem can happened.
