Upon power cycle, the expansion reappeared but the raid that spanned both head and expansion looks to be gone. This server contained the raw data that the splitter uses to create workunits. No raw data was lost because it is all backed up. The evening before last, our science database machine locked up. A power cycle "fixed" that problem. As of yet we find no clues as to the cause of the lock up. ID: 1110013 ·

I hope things get back to normal soon. Until then, people should set BOINC to NOT contact the project, upload units or the likes. The less load on the servers might be for the better. I intend to shut down BOINC until things clear up (as I only run SETI@home).

Thanks for taking time to give us a heads-up Jeff. Any chance of getting uploads and reporting working, or are they affected as well? Yes, why upload server doesn't work too? Is it the same host? I've got completed WUs, and I fear they might be expired before I could report for them... ID: 1110112 ·

A real shame. I will continue to look in to see if any fixes are out to solve this. Thanks, Steve ID: 1110143 ·

They give us amazing support. One of their engineers logged into the the server and worked his magic. The RAID and filesystem have come back to life. We'll let the RAID resync and do a final reboot to clear some flags and then restart work generation. ID: 1110144 ·
