Restrict your client to 1 or 2 WUs at a time to conserve disk space. Disk space is not my main problem; but overall “compensation” with ~280PPD is ; in case of no failures. And the fact that before my reboot the system load was in a way that some WCG WUs failed due to resource issues. Maybe because piling up VM zombies. Never had issues with that. But that overall for me is a reason to “abort” tasks (as you asked in OP) it I experience negative impact on system when ever i try again.
2) Message boards : News : Request for feedback (Message 347) Posted 10 Jun 2019 by ChristianVirtual Post: VBoxManage: error: The VM session was aborted VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component SessionMachine, interface ISession Waiting for VM "boinc_0b0bb805c10c8b7e" to power on... That one is the main reason, added an app_config with max 6 instances and try if it get better, also rebooted the box before. But this error actually is after the reboot so not very hopeful it will fix. Any chance to dump the vbox experience and go native ?

Often I see runtimes of 200seconds and wonder: what the heck is it doing and can it be worth anything.... really struggle to get the meaning of this project (yes, sorry, I sound negative). What can I do get it running better on my EPYC 24/48 with 128GB RAM and CentOS ?
