When viewing the results for all my hosts i've noticed a few at the bottom of the page that seem to remain indefinetly (even why not crunching for seti for a while and all other results were deleted)

I was just wondering if this is because they aren't being deleted, or if there is some kind of problem (which i suspect considering the 2nd WU listed)

workunit 1 (my result)
workunit 2 (my result)
workunit 3 (my result)

I'm especially concerned about the 2nd unit listed, all hosts failed for some reason but no new results were issued for processing - strange, unless a new workunit was created with the same data

does anyone know anything about this?

All of these WUs were sent (or due for receiving result) in the age of the 'great outages'.

I don't wonder if during that period there were things going on at the servers that caused WUs to get lost.
But things like that happened before. My first BOINC-machine is still showing two WUs dating from summer 2004... one of them even having credits!

Sooner or later the cleanup will catch these WUs, hopefully. Too bad about the lost science, though (what, if ET's signal was just in one of those WUs?).

thanx for the explanation, thought it might be something like that, seti's been having somewhat of a mid-life crisis

and about the science, i would have thought that the assimilators would have seen that there aren't any results, and left it alone (nothing to be assimilated) and there must be some kind of "admin summary" that would show old WUs that don't have any results ??
