2) Message boards : News : Request for feedback (Message 267) Posted 23 Apr 2019 by Ray Murray Post: Wasn't expecting a 3GB memory requirement so locked up my machine, which has only 4GB RAM, as I had a LHC running as well. Had to "hard reboot" to get control back. Some ran through without any issue but I had quite a few "Postponed:unmanagables" which didn't recover after Boinc restarts (which usually works) and even removing the offending VM from VBox and I gave up and Aborted them. Some DID recover and returned successfully. I sacrificed the LHC to allow this to run un-contested, one at a time, and I turned the work buffer down to get "a few" more to try and got sent 21 rather than the 2 or 3 I expected. First 2 of that batch became un manageable so I have Aborted them all rather trying to nurse them through. Sorry, I just don't think that machine is up to the task. I have a couple of other machines which have more memory so I'll let one of them try a few tomorrow night. All on Boinc 7.14.2 and VBox 6.0.6, in case that's relevant.
