Thanks for the hard work and the update. Actually, yes, IBM used the term Fixed Disk or Fixed Drive or even Fixed Disk Drive. Load a copy of FDISK from PC DOS (IBM's version of DOS) or MS-DOS and it will say at the top: Fixed Disk Utility (which is what the F in FDISK stands for). |

Validate errors again with 'hostid=5069275' after the weekly server maintenance. They were ULed during the maintenance and reported after. The same like for two weeks. :-( ____________ [Optimized project applications, for to increase your PC performance (double RAC)!][Overview of abbreviations, which are used often in forum and their meaning.] |

In one of my previous lives (hw oriented), "fixed disk" was the complement to "removable disk", as in those drives where a cartridge or disk pack containing platters was user-loadable into the disk drive. This allowed such things as one system to support accounting, inventory, etc. applications just depending on which cartridge was loaded. Some even had a fixed platter and a removable, so the OS might be on the fixed, and the app and it's data were on the removable. Of course, you'd have to reboot to swap removeables out. When Winchesters came along, everything became "fixed"...... Dave |

Try this: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=3034 Ageless wrote: "Ah, the infamous error 417. This is a HTTP error. This can possibly be fixed by telling BOINC to use HTTP 1.0 communications only. To do so, make a cc_config.xml file in your BOINC Data directory. Put these lines into it: <cc_config> <options> <http_1_0>1</http_1_0> </options> </cc_config> Open BOINC Manager->Advanced view->Advanced->Read config file. Now try to upload/download." It worked for me, I have just uploaded 2 results. |

Good old fashioned removable disk packs .... ah those were the days .... I once worked at a place that had 8 (numbered 0-7, of course...) disk drives and 4 permanent disk packs, with about 7 temporary packs for various projects - and swappable addresses. I ran one job (I was a system operator - this is back in mainframe times...) where steps 1-7 required one address (say 5) to be a scratch pack, and steps 8-end required address 5 to be the project pack. You'd just pop out the address plug for 5 and put it in the drive (already spinning, of course... these drives took about 1.5 minutes to come up to speed!) that had the project pack. . Hello, from Albany, CA!... |

Validate errors again with 'hostid=5069275' after the weekly server maintenance. One of my both validate errors got the 3rd wingman, so it'll be 'deleted' soon and won't be fixed. Your machine [hostid=5250323] with your three validate errors. This validate errors (yours and mine) are server related. If your wingman have the same result, for sure - and not because of your machine. I made a small look at your validate errors and your wingmen have the same results. One of your three validate errors [wuid=582108644] have a wingman also with validate error. BTW. I saw you let run only SSE3 opt. app on your Q8300. I would guess this CPU can also SSSE3, or maybe SSE4.1 . And then you would see a little speed up in calculation. ____________ [Optimized project applications, for to increase your PC performance (double RAC)!][Overview of abbreviations, which are used often in forum and their meaning.] |

Looks like seti had a dazzling 48 hrs. of uptime before going down again (now approximately 03/19/2010 01:45 UTC) |

I've been able to pull a few cuda23 WUs (32 to be exact) in among dozens of "Project has no jobs available" messages. So I think it's just a matter of letting the splitters catch up with demand. I got a couple hundred Seti Beta WUs before that server was taken down. Too bad they're not transferable. Best wishes:) |

I got a couple hundred Seti Beta WUs before that server was taken down. Too bad they're not transferable. FYI - for anyone reading that may not know the answer to this: the reason why they're not transferable is because you're not actually BETA testing the workunits, but the application and the backend server processes themselves. Most of the BETA workunits are sent out over and over again, so as to provide a repeatable environment for troubleshooting purposes. It does no good to transfer those workunits to the live project because there's a good chance they've already been crunched scientifically. |
