Maybe iThena is overcome with its success - but -
Disk-place is relatively cheap.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Can't get CNode on one rig (Message 1374)

The log says -
No tasks are available for iThena CNode
No problem with OONI
Another rig has no problem.

Thanks @Fardringle for your analysis - it makes a lot of sense.
The VM has a whole thread, but doesn't appear to use it all - except when applying Linux updates.- which is why I scaled down from 2.
Net activity is low - rarely exceeding 100Kb.
I'll go back to more threads - the machine isn't doing much else now (about 20 PERFs which run imperceptibly) - and it's probably resource conflict that lies at the "core". Especially when all resources have to be funneled through VM. 40 parallel CNODEs is probably far too optimistic...
This is my first experimental venture into the world of Linux - I'm thankful for all the help out there.

Many CNode tasks take ½-1hour. Mine take a day or more - and often end with an error.

While PERF WU's take just over a couple of minutes to earn their 2 credits,
CNODE WU's run for up to a whole day for their 2 credits.
How long do you expect support for CNODE ?

Post:
Many of my CNode tasks fail - after runtimes of up to a whole day.
This must be frustrating for the project for several reasons -
1) The turnaround time earlier was under one hour - they are now receiving only a fraction of the earlier input.
2) That fraction is made even smaller by so many failures.
3) Your supporters will begin to desert your ship because it seems to be sinking.

My CNODE tasks run for about 24 hours with a couple of minutes CPU. Is this normal ?
8) Message boards : Number crunching : Bandwidth glutton - CNode vs PERF (Message 1102)

I was watching with Glasswire and couldn't tell for sure. I think Cnode can run continuously, submit and get a new WU right away. Perf has a blast of activity, finishes quickly and the server at least 5 minutes before sending the next WU.

If you examine the log you will see that Perf implements a 303 second wait when it starts.

I agree with the other commenters. Between 1 AM and 2 AM UMT on March 10, 2021, run times on PERF tasks jumped from around 133 seconds to around 2400 seconds. But still only giving the same 2 credits per task.

This was an instant change (not a gradual increase) in run times, and has been consistently high on all tasks since then, and it is happening on all of my computers that I checked.

Also, my run times for CNODE tasks on Linux machines have NOT changed. So maybe there was a mistake in the outage/fire announcement and it actually affected the PERF server and not the CNODE server?

So the 2 sub-projects are now in the same ballgame. Still cheap credits !

Probably this week.
I've already completed some preparations.

More than a million PERF WU's, but my Windows can't get any.
