When the s@h client has troubles getting through to s@h when trying to upload the file to report completed workunits, is there an manual option that you could do to make it work? That file is rapidly growing and in my case that file has become nearly 60 Mbyte in size and i truly understand that there are troubles getting it to upload completely. Is there a way to do it or should i hope that i don't have crunched more than a week worth of WU's which can't be reported? Suggestions anyone even if it's bad news!

When the s@h client has troubles getting through to s@h when trying to upload the file to report completed workunits, is there an manual option that you could do to make it work? Good question to ask...... I was thinking exactly the same thing yesterday when I was getting nothing but HTTP internal server errors every time my rigs tried to report their stored up completed work. Thankfully, things settled down a bit and they finally all made it through. Don't know the size of the file, but I think the largest had about 3000 WUs to report. Yours must have a lot more than that. I too, was wondering if there was a way to get Boinc to report only X number of completed WUs at a time, or be able to split the file up into smaller subfiles to transfer successfully. I think the Boinc devs should consider adding an option..... <report_max_results>XXXXX</report_max_results> "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Yea i wrote that long ago that it should be split and that it would be incorporated in the Boinc structure itself not only to s@h. Small batches would be better for the overall amount of TCP packets needed for resend etc. For now that machine has about 4800 Wu's to report and it's increasing fast :-/ Hope there is a way otherwise i need to babysit and watch the graphs so the network isn't congested to it's max and wait it out and hope :) Kind regards Vyper _________________________________________________________________________ Addicted to SETI crunching!

It isn't client_state.xml that you're trying to upload. It's sched_request_*.xml, so you have to check the size of this file. What error message do you get eventually? A time out? |

Vyper.... Did your results get transferred successfully? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Boinc has behaved badly so the machine was set in an unresponsive state tonight so it hasn't been up until my colleague rebooted it at the office this afternoon (4 hours ago).. So i believe it's about 5400 wu's which need to be reported. First i need to get rid of all the WU which can't be downloaded in the queue so i'm aborting them.. Otherwise boinc can't work properly and starts to loose track of heartbeats to the clients putting the machine in a extreme unresponsive state when remotecontrolling it.

Somebody must be getting through, my total and RAC are climbing slowly and my pendings are dropping. Good luck Vyper. PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

Ok the first try didn't work. It tried for about 20 minutes, then i got HTTP internal server error.. Lets try it again.. 30 MB here we go.. Pinching some needles in a voodoo doll.. Need some more "meowa meowa kazzzam." :D //Vyper _________________________________________________________________________ Addicted to SETI crunching! Founder of GPU Users Group |

Ok the first try didn't work. Kibble go high, kibble go low. From the cruncher to the server, here we go.............. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

/me crosses everything crossable. :D Thanks Jord..... As computers and GPUs get faster and can process more and more work, this may become even more of an issue. At least at Seti. I don't run other projects, so I am not sure how the size of their WUs compare. But Boinc may need to adjust so that situations like Vyper's can be handled more gracefully by the core client.

Vyper, David asks if you can email him your sched_request*.xml file. (I'll ask you to zip or otherwise compress it first. :-)) |

Update. David Anderson wrote: I see what the problem is (it's in the server; it crashes when lots of results are reported). I'll try to get it fixed today. |

Update. Thanks! In past I lost a few times a lot of results/Cr., because I needed to detach/attach that my GPU machine got again well contact to the server.. Currently 'top_host'_#4 owner.. ;-) |
