Looks like it ran for ~61 minutes before it croaked.

Same here, I had a few those errors.

It is not your setting. The project needs to change it.
But now they are fixing the problem by going back to the smaller ones; see Stefan's post on the subject.

Just now I tried to download QC tasks and/or QC beta tasks for windows.

However, none are available (according to a notice in the BOINCS Manager).

So all the "unsent" tasks shown on the Server Status Page are still for Linux only?
I thought that there are some available now for Windows.

Take 3 for test.
If I understand correctly, calculation progress for these WUs does not display correctly. How much time in average this WUs consuming?

P.S. Such WUs producing quite heavy load on storage subsystem. When 3 of them simultaneously writing data on disk, this generates a stream of almost 1 Gigabyte! o_O (~ 900 MiB/ps).
Without high performance SSD, it is better not to run more than one such WU : )


Upd.

One of them already died -_-

Only WU Quantum Chemistry, beta test 3.33 (mt) is currently available for Windows. I think on server status page they are Quantum Chemistry, beta test.
You probably need to check your preferences:

Use CPU - yes
Run test applications? - yes
Quantum Chemistry (CPU, beta): yes

Use CPU - yes
Run test applications? - yes
Quantum Chemistry (CPU, beta): yes

Thanks for the hint, before I had forgotten to put "Run test applications" on "yes".
I did that now, and one tasks was downloaded and got startet.

What makes me wonder though is that after a few minutes the progress percentage in the BOING Manager got stuck at 1.098%, although the time is progressing, and the Windows task manager shows that Python is running (and using about 214MB RAM).
What I just noticed is that whereas under "remaining time", before some 6 hours where shown; now, about 13 minutes later, the value for "remaining time" has gone up to about 18 hours.
Is this okay, or is the tasks faulty?

now, 20 minutes after start, the progress bar is still at 1.098%, the remaining time is shown as 1 day + 6 hours, and Python is using 3.194MB RAM (which is not a problem yet at this point).

the task failed with the error
196 (0xc4) EXIT_DISK_LIMIT_EXCEEDED
after 4.461 secs.

Another taks is running, so let's see.

As far as I've noticed, all these WU behave this way.

I have finished a bunch of them and their computation time varies from 0,5 to 3 hours. At average 1,5 hours.

I think it's "ok".
11 of 14 of these WU completed successfully. Failed WUs have the same error.
https://www.gpugrid.net/results.php?hostid=164968

105 errors / failed on 188 calculated WU's
I understand this is a BETA application.
Hope this helps.

so far, all 3 tasks which got downloaded failed with this exit_disk_limit_exceeded error after about 3900 - 4800 seconds.

I do understand that these tasks are beta, so one cannot expect that they succeed.
Maybe I am lucky though and one of these tasks will be successful eventually.

As a result, from 30 tasks taken only 14 successfully completed.
There are no more test tasks, so I continue crunching WCG.

Since I had started with these tasks yesterday, 20 were processed so far, out of which only 2 succeeded.
Hence, I now stopped downloading them, it doesn't make any sense.

What I don't understand is:

13.01.2019 07:46:22 | GPUGRID | Aborting task 194r20-TONI_TST10-0-1-RND3322_3: exceeded disk limit: 41204.15MB > 28610.23MB

so why is there not sufficient disk limit set by the project to begin with ???

This means your file size was 41204.15MB, and the limit is 28610.23MB, not the other way around.

The trick to this, is to find which file contains the limit and change it to a larger number and this task would have finished successfully.

any advice how to get this accomplished ?

Honestly, I have no idea.

I attempted to go to the …/BOINC/slots directory, where there are several directories named 0 ,1, 2, 3 etc. Find the one has the minicoda / wrapper files, and edit with notepad the bonic_task_state.xml file. It should open and look something like this:

<active_task>
<project_master_url>http://www.gpugrid.net/</project_master_url>
<result_name>4534r1-TONI_TST10-0-1-RND0591_4</result_name>
<checkpoint_cpu_time>30.765630</checkpoint_cpu_time>
<checkpoint_elapsed_time>128.215471</checkpoint_elapsed_time>
<fraction_done>0.010989</fraction_done>
<peak_working_set_size>149794816</peak_working_set_size>
<peak_swap_size>139321344</peak_swap_size>
<peak_disk_usage>575110930</peak_disk_usage>
</active_task>

Edit the peak disk usage number to something larger and save the file. In both attempts I failed. WUs errored out. Maybe I should have bumped the numbers higher. I added a zero at the end. The last disk space usage before the crash was over 44 gigs.

Give it try, if you like.

Something similar to this, was done in the past for oversize output files. It worked.
