Hi,

apparently my disk space shortened faster than BOINC could handle it, and it actually erased seemed to have truncated client_state.xml when trying to open() it. The tragic thing is that I now have some workunits in the projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/ folder that are not listed in client_state.xml. Is there a way to add them back, rather than "let them dying" (i.e. they time out on the Berkeley Server and will be assigned in two weeks to other people)?

Not possible - but not really a catastrophy with the short timeout of SETI WUs - it is worse with CPDN models as to my knowledge they do not send lost ones out again.

actually CPDN does send out lost WUs again. They wait for 2 weeks for a trickle, and if you have not posted a trickle in that time, the WU is queued for sending again (unless someone has marked it as useless in the meantime -- this happened to a few early Alpha and Beta WUs).
