Message 8884 - Posted: 8 Jul 2025, 12:06:29 UTC

I'm seeing about a 7% computation error rate running the docker app on linux. Here's the latest task that gave me an error: https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3459216

I do see a kernel warning that seems to coincide with the computation error:
7/8/25 7:53 AM	kernel	overlayfs: fs on '/var/lib/boinc/.local/share/containers/storage/overlay/l/IG3A6AOFNDPYQUCHJ3EI5KALRS' does not support file handles, falling back to xino=off.


I'm running 16 tasks simultaneously.
Computer info:
CPU type	AuthenticAMD
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor [Family 25 Model 33 Stepping 0]
Number of processors	32
Coprocessors	NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (15842MB) driver: 570.99 OpenCL: 3.0
Virtualization	None
Operating System	Linux Ubuntu
Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS [6.8.0-63-generic|libc 2.39]
BOINC version	8.2.4


I do have a squid proxy set up on the same computer and it seems to be working as advertized.
Other info: squid version 6.10, podman version 4.9.3

I see clusters of these kernel warnings every few minutes or so. The computational errors are much less frequent so most likely there's no correlation.

I'm running 16 tasks simultaneously.

I reduced this number to 8 because I was seeing waiting for memory notifications. Apparently ~4 GB memory per task is not enough. Running top or htop shows plently of RAM available.

I have noticed the memory usage reported to BOINC in the Boinc Central Universal Docker app is also not correct/much higher than actual.
