On the LHC@home preferences, exactly how do these parameters work?
Max # jobs 2
Max # CPUs 4

Is Max # jobs the max concurrent on a machine or all machines?
Is Max # CPUs the number of CPUs per WU you want, max number of WUs to run?

????

More important question. I've got one system that keeps getting computation errors on the CMS vbox tasks. This seems to be what's happening...

2017-01-20 10:54:02 (9880): VM Heartbeat file specified, but missing file system status. (errno = '2')

OK, I think I was just trying to start too many of the CMS tasks at one time. They launch a vm which uses almost 2.4GB RAM so it takes some resource just to get them downloaded and initialized. Slowly getting all the rigs running what they can. If you think you have plenty of RAM in your rig, just try keeping your cores busy running CMS. Hopefully some of the WUs will start finishing overnight and we pick up a few positions.
