If they don't get it fixed by knock-off time on Friday, then you may want to be concerned.

Okay, now we're all concerned!

I reported 1 WU just a few minutes ago. The Scheduler was up and running, the only things that were not online were the Back-up database on jocelyn and Download server #2 on vader (and some of the ntpckrs on synergy).

I've been in and out all day, and did notice that some functions were taken down for a time, but almost all are up now. Not worried.

I haven't been worried. Looks like they have brought up and taken vader down as download a few times since this evening. I haven't really seen any issues since I got home from work 6 hours ago.

There's still some sort of problem there. Even when the network traffic drops off, downloads are very slow & often time out almost as soon as they start. Takes multiple retrys before each one does download.
And the amount of work in progress is fairly steady, yet it's about a million short of where it should be.

*sigh* Yay for getting loop-holed out of credit for an AP.

_0 missed the deadline and therefore, I became _2. A few hours later, _0 turned their's in and _0 and _1 validated and got credit. Few days go by and my machine turns the work in. Invalid because credit was already granted.

Or it was a legitimate invalid result. They were both stock, I'm not, so it's hard to tell.

WU in question

I know in the past I've seen issues where _2 would get "robbed" of credit if _0 or _1 turned their's in late, but before you did. I don't know if this is still a problem though since I don't see nearly as many WUs since going AP-only.

The third always gets the credit if the result is valid.
So i think yours is invalid.

So i think yours is invalid.

I suspect if he had reported earlier, his task would have been inconclusive, and when the third result was in, he probably would have got credit for it,
But since those two tasks had already validated, there's no point making it inconclusive and sending out further tasks to see if his is valid, or the original two,

Still the same. Downloads timing out, extremely slow when they do download. Work in Progress pretty much stagnant, enough work going out to keep things busy. But not enough to fill caches.

Not so strange, since download server 2 has been offline for days now.

Ah, that explains it.

It looks like the "saturation" line on the cricket graph looks pretty nice being below 90mbit though. Scheduler requests take a few seconds longer than usual, but it seems like uploads and scheduler requests go through every time...for me anyway.

The problem is that it can take anywhere from 3-12 attampts to download a single Work Unit. And where it's usually around 70kB/s or better, at the momnent it can be as slow as 2kB/s.

Yeah, I see that now. Had gotten a few downloads whilst sleeping or away from the house for a few hours, but I see one now that's trying. Has restarted four times and when it does actually get data.. 1.21kB/sec.

My 5 day cache has nearly run out.. I attribute this to the fact that when I woke up this morning, the 100 or so WU I had been assigned overnight were in 12+ hour project backoff due to failing to download so many times in a row lol

How come the second download server is offline? I've checked news/tech news and I can't find any mention of it.. Same with the backup database.. :o

Download server, no idea.
Replica database- they were having issues with it's external storage system.

I do enjoy still using a pre-GPU build of BOINC. Max back-off is 3:59:59.. or so I've observed. Unless the scheduler specifically responds with a different back-off. A couple weeks ago with that extended downtime for..something, I hadn't turned network communications off yet, and saw "scheduler request pending, waiting 18:xx:xx". So it can still happen for scheduler contacts, but not for failed transfers..those max out at 4 hours.

Someone got to the Lab, or it fixed itself, :/

Well, whatever the case is, both download servers are offline now o_O

I've got about 6-8 hours of CPU work left, and a good couple of days of GPU work.. so I might just reschedule some work for the time being until stuff is back up and running :)

The d/l server VADER has been in trouble all weekend. I think they attempted to get it going late Friday - early Saturday and it lasted a short time. If you look at the server page you will notice that it was disabled by the staff. I suspect that they will take care of it as soon as someone comes in later this morning.

I do enjoy still using a pre-GPU build of BOINC. Max back-off is 3:59:59.. or so I've observed. Unless the scheduler specifically responds with a different back-off.

So it can still happen for scheduler contacts, but not for failed transfers..those max out at 4 hours.

I like in the version I'm running, 6.10.48, where I'll see tasks downloading & then (project back-off 00:30:00) shows up next to them while still downloading. Once one of the downloading tasks finishes the back-off goes away. It just amuses me to see it do that. I would use .58, but I have problems connecting to remote machines with the manager on my work network.

The download server 1 anakin is Running
download server 2 vader is Disabled

By the way, this comes from my LT(T2400)
