Once in a blue moon, I'll get a task that errors in "finish file present too long". If I recall correctly, I've had this happen on another BOINC project, where the calculation became larger than the maximum upload size. | |

Still getting them. A lot of these happen when I'm nowhere near the computer to close or open the application. | |

As for the newest BOINC Beta, I would not feel comfortable switching to that if it might disrupt my other tasks. v7.6.6 is not Beta, it's the recommended BOINC version. Your problem is recognized as a client issue. It happens to some users more than to others and also some projects suffering more than others. It has to do with cleaning up the slot directory after a task is ready. Older versions of BOINC tries to rename an optional non existing file and retried that too often. BOINC tells you "finish file present - too long", because the temporary finish file placed by BOINC during cleanup stays longer than 10 seconds. | |

It was released as the recommended version...today. What a scold! When I posted that, it hadn't been released. | |

Moreover, where in the release notes does it say anything about slot directory bugs getting fixed? Sorry Dayle, that you've wasted so much cpu-cycles and in fact the jobs were ready. Sometimes it's good being ahead of the troops. Do you really think, that every change in the source code will find its way into release notes. Sorry, I've to disappoint you in that, but the code change was made on the 17th of June by David Anderson himself and called: "client: fix bug that caused delay in job cleanup" with the comment: "If a job has an output file with <copy_file> and <optional>, and it doesn't create the file, then the call to boinc_rename() (to move it to the project dir) fails, and we back off and retry." | |

Updating to the new version of BOINC did nothing. | |

I'm getting the error message "finish file present too long" for some BOINC tasks. The computer is running Ubuntu 16.10, BOINC 7.6.33.
