hi

i'm running albert 4.36 on an sparc-solaris 2.7 with boinc 4.43... and my questions are:
1) how can i force checkpoints ? (if it's possible)
2) how can i see if checkpoints are used and when ?
3) why could be the reasons why my WUs are going form 0% to near 10% and directly to 100% (after 6 hours without any move) ???

The frequency of checkpointing is determined by your preference setting for 'Write to disk no more than every X minutes'.

To watch checkpointing in progress, look in the slots/N/ directory and find the file called Fstat.out.ckp. This file is written (and changes) at each checkpoint.
