I assigned 4800 MB to the virtual machine and even though my memory usage in windows is a little high, i don't believe it should be an issue.  I started running ./fah6 -bigadv -smp 7, but i believe i was running -smp 6 at the time of this error seeing if -smp 6 helped prevent it. 

1920 seems to be going well, but i would much rather be crunching bigadv. 


Any input is appreciated, Thanks!

bigadv is memory intensive and uses a lot of memory (3-4GB). Have you done a LinX run on your system? If not, I would at a minimum try running LinX with a large problem size that uses a lot of memory to test for memory stability.

Is it possible for you to make it so that the log gets deleted after it reaches a certain size (like the Windows and GPU clients) or make an option whether to have it cleared each time the Folding client reboots? I find it more useful to have an extended log like what I currently see with all my folding clients. I don't mind manually deleting it if I have to.

Btw, sometimes when I start up the computer, I get the following type of error. Rebooting the client makes it go away.

Oh I'd just like to say that your image seems to be much better than the Notfred client. It's faster too. Thanks for all your hardwork!

Sometimes the client does not shutdown properly on system shutdown. I send a TERM signal to the fah6 client but the client does not always shutdown the cores properly for some reason. There might have been a lingering process id file causing this message. I am still looking for a better way to shutdown the client.

Interface looks very good LR!  Making it much easier for us Linux-impaired folks.

need assistance, Followed the instructions downloaded and installed vmware player, got passkey started up virtual machine with file vmware-fah-dav and started up virtual machine. I have never done any type of cpu folding or used -bigadv so do i have to first run normal wu, and how. Right now i am at the command prompt and it says            FAH login:  autofah  (automatic login)
                                                                                                                    No mail .
                                                                                                                    root@FAH:~#
Now what?

any help would be appreciated as i am new to folding.

I wonder if there is a way to "stock up" on bigadv's.
