It's probably already errored out by now, but with all those errors and running over 2.5days without starting, you should abort it if it's still going.
It hasn't started, let alone stand any chance of finishing. Let your core have something more productive to run.

Fortunately this seems to be a one-off and other tasks are processing as expected.
Restarting bionic client caused it to realize it needed to error out this task.
Maybe at some point bionic client will recognize similar errors (for any project) and avoid a restart or abort

Still dead, so still no work being Validated.

Looks like Application "Rosetta Beta 6.06" tasks are using 2.5GB of RAM each! That becomes a bit inefficient when have 128 cores in a computer and 128GB RAM (only 46/128 cores used). Ones before that and "Rosetta 4.20" are consuming less than 0.5GB (and all 128 cores used).
Is it possible to limit the RAM usage per task, so can consume all cores again?

The recent beta 6.06 tasks are now using less than 1GB (600MB compressed). Thank you for fixing the RAM size!
Now I'm able to use all cores again

---

It appears that they (whoever they are) have resolved the massive memory gobbling. Do you think I would be wise to remove the limitation on the beta runs? I currently have it limited to only 6 per computer.

I think so.
It's possible it ran short of RAM as some tasks are demanding high amounts recently, but better to think of it as a one-off and just move on.

It came back about 8hrs ago.
Everything nearly cleared down now.
And some tasks became available, but have all been gobbled up again.
All very hand-to-mouth

:/

One of my systems (phenom ii x6 1065t) fails all Rosetta BETA 6 tasks yet is fine with Rosetta 4 tasks.

It almost immediately fails the tasks.

Ive:
Reinstalled boinc
Enabled virtiualization
Reinstalled virtualbox twice
If this isn't solveable then is it possible to disable Rosetta 6 beta tasks specifically on this machine?

I tried to look up which of your systems that is in order to see if I could help. The information I found by clicking on your author name did not include the system type (phenom ii), only items like the CPU and GPU types, so I couldn't help.

It looks to be this one.
I can't help either.
Some tasks crashed with their wingman too, but others completed fully and successfully.

The only thing I might ask about is if that PC is overclocked or old and maybe overheating.
Might it need a clean-out of dust from fans and vents in order to run cooler? Can't do any harm.

But I'm guessing - I have no idea what's wrong.
And there's no way to disable Rosetta Beta tasks only.
If Matthew doesn't mind the wasted bandwidth, let them crash out in a few seconds and someone else will have a go at them while he moves on with other tasks that do run successfully.

Ahh...but there is! At least under linux. Thanks to the beta jobs asking for 2+GB of memory I took the hint(s) and restricted them. But they've fixed that problem so it turned into a "learning experience" and I'm limiting the number of einstein@home jobs now. Details available via private message if anyone is interested in how.

The only thing to try that comes to mind is to reset the Project.
If one of the data files needed for Beta Tasks has become corrupted, that can cause the problem you're experiencing. Resetting the project will release all downloaded work, and clear out all existing application & database files & re-download them from the project from scratch.

My Pixel 6 recently was having issues with Rosetta v4.20 arm-android-linux-gnu. Specifically:

rb_10_30_639032_632668_ab_t000__robetta_cstwt_5.0_FT_IGNORE_THE_REST_04_05_2997716_34_0

rb_10_30_639032_632668_ab_t000__robetta_cstwt_5.0_FT_IGNORE_THE_REST_05_12_2997716_33_0

rb_10_30_639032_632668_ab_t000__robetta_cstwt_5.0_FT_IGNORE_THE_REST_07_07_2997716_32_0

When they started, it would get up to about ~1.5 to 1.75% completed and then reset my phone, and start over at 0%. I aborted all three, in retrospect I should have pause two and tried to isolate if one exactly causing the issue. But, I have some other stuff going on and acted out of frustration, so that one is on me. If I can provide anything else that might help, let me know.
