I was checking my inconclusives and found http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=1320805048. It's supposed to be a v7, I ran it as a v7, it was assigned to my wingmate as a v7, but his stderr output shows it ran as v6.11. How can this happen?

FWIW, I just checked the host's tasks and it shows Validation pending (413) · Validation inconclusive (14) · Valid (30) · Invalid (764) · Error (4). Methinks something is rotten in Anonymousland.

He is running an outdated application.
Therefore marked as invalid.

If no autocorr signal is found in a work unit it will be validated.

He's one of those Smart**** who edited their app_info to run the new V7 with the old V6 app, because before Eric made sure it didn't pay off (they now becomes invalid), runnning like that, gave more credit, and did run the tasks faster (no autocorr in V6)

Wrong.
Each unit without autocorr signal is still valid on his host.

Sadly there are quite a few Linux rigs around doing this since MB V7. :-(

Cheers.

Okay, but I found 2 autocorrs. When the 3rd host comes back and agrees with me, won't this guy's work be marked as invalid and be granted 0 credit? I can't see any real advantage to him for doing this. What good is it to do the work faster if it's invalid?

Should something be done about it?

Specifically, that applies only to tasks with -9 result_overflow. In that case with no reportable autocorr the v7 and v6 result files do match so there's no harm done.

It's not wrong, it wasn't the whole truth though, that's all. It was right that he used the old app to run v7. At least give me 58,5% right will ya :-)

After all it's Friday, so be a bit generous. LOL

You can have 60% Sten.
