I have a different problem. I got assigned work, but they just refused to download properly. Anyone else seeing this wrong size error? Is the server sending erroneous signal to Boinc that the download is completed while in reality nothing was transferred? 6/24/2009 10:34:03 PM SETI@home [error] File 06ap09ab.20174.20931.14.8.253 has wrong size: expected 375338, got 0 |

Boinc will keep trying until you do receive it. EDIT: Fixed tags. Flying high with Team Sicituradastra. |

I too posted something today well two messages and they have disappeared having trouble downloading again. Mainly connect failed or expecting and got zero There are two main issues with the back-end reliability: 1) Yes, a lot of the hardware is either hand-me-downs or prototypes being tested by the manufacturer, either case means special and careful attention when issues do arise, usually hardware issues 2) Most of the software is made in-house for a specific purpose, and MySQL is probably being used more intensely than it was ever intended to be used. For either one of those two reasons, when problems arise, it takes a while to figure out what failed, and then to develop a solution to fix it by means of a band-aid, or in the best-case scenario, keep it from being a problem again. The only problem with fixing problems is that by fixing one problem, you often create 5 new ones. Linux laptop: record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up) |

Has anyone else noticed missing posts on the forums. I saw a few threads where posts appear to have disappeared I've seen a thread that has gone away. It is obvious that something crashed hard right after if came back up from the outage and they have had to pull the backup. Now it looks like it crashed again as there is no I/O on cricket. I know it will get fixed. Wishing them godspeed. |

I thought MySQL might be the problem - is there any chance someone could/would donate a more Enterprise-Oriented DB? SQLServer? Oracle? Other? Any corporate DB users/admins out there who have a feel for what might work better? |

There seemed to be a few server problems earlier, none of my hosts where able to report tasks all morning. Just let it play out, it will sort itself out in the end. |

BOINC Database Engine State # As of Master database queries/second 696* 0m Replica seconds behind master 62,807* 0m [* seconds] Hmm.. maybe it have something to do with the DB that some posts/thread are not available? Also: wrong size error @ download no jobs available @ work request Also the Berkeley crew modded the forum? Now at the post view more functions [BBCode userfriendly] available.. |

does anyone know when the current issues are likely to be fixed, i am out of work unts for the cpu, it is trying to download about 11 units but they fail to download, even if they did wouldonly take a few hours to process, as the CPU does 8 at once. I have lots of cuda units to processor which is odd as i only have single GPU |

FYI: I just started up my second 8-core (which I had shut down before because of no work) and I "got" about 50 WUs. Unfortunately, they are not downloading to my machine; they show up in both the Transfers tab and the Tasks tab. How can I shut down my machine now and put them back in the system queues so someone else can waste money (KWH) waiting for the data to move? |

The key word here is "errors" -- each time you have an error, your quota is reduced by 1. If you've intentionally "errored" 90 VLARs, then your daily quota is 10. Return one valid work unit, and it'll double to 20, etc. |

Much more user friendly Follow the thread to the previous message. He's referring to the buttons to automatically add BBCODE tags. If you aren't referring to the buttons that add BBCODE tags, then you're responding to the wrong topic. Edit: I've said this many times, and this is a good time to repeat it. If you are referring to the servers being out of work, that isn't meant to be "user friendly" -- those transactions are between the BOINC client and the BOINC servers. SETI strongly suggests that you crunch for more than one project, so that during lean times here you will not run out. Alternately, you can shut down for a day. The work assigned (but not yet downloaded) will be here tomorrow -- or sooner. ... but I'd suggest another project, or a bigger cache, or both. |
