My MB/GPU-only box hasn't asked for new work since Saturday morning. I checked its disk usage and it's not anywhere near its limits. It also doesn't have any Einsteins on board at the moment (and hasn't in about two weeks).

So, are the MBs being split in the last few days giving really long runtime estimates, or should I start worrying about my machine?

David I have been doing Einstein for the last couple of days so i can tell you there is nothing wrong there .

Have you restarted the machine ? , 1st answer from a help desk
How long since you Defrag it ? 2nd answer from help desk

Yes i know there silly but you would be surprised . The most popular answer from a help desk is hove you turned it on at the plug .

Can you reach the web sites of both projects ? , Thinking connection problem ! maybe a reboot of the modem !

David it would also help if you give a little more info please can you post the last 20-30 lines from the event log ?

Still a bit new at the site here. What are mb work units. Are they s@h v7? Those short 5 hr cpu jobs.

MB = MultiBeam which are s@h v7, MB/mb is just what they've been called here for years. ;-)

Those short 5 hr cpu jobs.

I won't tell you what my CPU cores do them in then. :-D

Cheers.

I looked at your times. I need to go to the hospital. My jaw fell off.

Last time I had that happen to a host I had to do a Project Reset before it would start requesting work again. Sometimes BOINC can get a little out of whack on priorities.

Wiggo you had me worried there mate so i checked why your 15,00 in front on both machines ahead of me .

you got 2 GPU's on 1
and 3 GPU's on de other .

Come chrissy i'm gona be able to catch you .....hehehehehehehehe

More funds available to finish these set ups 's

And your going to drop 2 places down in the team 1 by oww 2-3 weeks from now and then i'll over take you come chrissy

I know something you don't hehehehehehehe

Sorry Wiggo i some how thought you where in the Raccoon team

---

Yep, team Australia here Glenn and my GPU's only do MB work. ;-)

Cheers.

Yeh but! you got 5 GPU's on them 2 machines i only got 2 GPU's on 2 machines .boo hoo :)

Every once In a while I have to reboot my router so I can connect to the servers. I thinks its the static in the electronic filter that gets a positron hold on the electrons and wont let anything through:)

All BS aside try rebooting your router. While I do that i also do a reboot on the computer to. I shut down and then power back up. It wont hurt to try anyway.

Well, within a few hours of when I started this thread, the box in question decided it was time to ask Einstein for some work again. My conclusion is that it just quit asking Seti ahead of time (although I didn't think boinc was that intelligent).

The event log clearly said, over and over again, not requesting new work every time it reported finished tasks to Seti.

David i'm wondering what you have the buffer set at ?.

Mite not ask if you have max buffer set to high . Mine is set for 0.2 days

My minimum buffer at the moment is 1.5 days and max additional buffer is 0.2 days

After I kicked that box 11 times to get it to find the new Einstein server and report three completed tasks, I also kicked it to report one Seti task... and it asked for work and got enough to bring itself back to 100 in progress again.

FWIW, that box is running Boinc 7.2.42. Its cache settings are not what I remember setting: "enough to keep busy" is blank and "additional" is 0.5 days. I suspect this incident's cause may be there. I do remember changing those settings a bit after upgrading Boinc, both because this version of Boinc works differently than 6.x and because I wanted to smooth out its swings between Einstein and Seti.
