jobs stuck as queued

Hi

I am having an issue where the farm has a bunch of jobs stuck on queued state they are from a few days ago. Any new jobs sent today render straightaway even if they have a lower priority then those queued jobs. I have checked that they are all in the correct pool. The stuck jobs have around 30-60 errors our error limit it 400 and 10 per slave.

Some of the stuck jobs were in the wrong pool to start with I am wondering if thats made a difference.

Thanks

It does sound like there may be errors stopping certain machines from picking up. Can you check the whitelist/blacklist and the “Slaves marked as bad” section of the Job properties?

There is also a “Slave Candidate Filter” in the Slave panel that will show you what machines are allowed to render those jobs when they are selected. You can use that to see if there is a rule stopping the jobs from rendering, but I think you’ve covered most of the bases already.

Yeah we checked those things and cleared them. we have resubmitted the jobs it seems to be working through now will see what happens tomorrow.

Sounds good.
