Just curious whether this is normal. After 179 +/- hours of computation I had reached approx 33% complete of an estimated 300 hour hash. Suddenly yesterday I noticed that my %complete had reset to .7% with an estimated 500 hour compete target and is now moving forward normally, I guess. My frage is, is this normal? At this rate I will never comlete this WU.

Thanks.

This suggests there was an interruption (machine shut down, whatever) during post-processing for a Slab Model. Post-processing occurs at 33.333%, 66.666% and 99.999%. The program was designed to run on a supercomputer and exhibits low tolerance for interruptions, especially in post-processing. It rewards such interruptions by starting over.

If you have a recent backup, which is a good idea, you can restore it and pick up from there, rather than re-running the entire first Phase.
