Hrmpf...
AP's please. I thought the database was fixed. Now it seems fixed, as in "the cat is fixed"
Grmpf.

:-)

They did fix the database problem, but maybe they know now the cause of problem?

You guys are too much. We had a massive storm pass thru. So good thing someone shut things down as a preventive measure or would you like to deal with other server failures.
There where also power outages in the Bay Area.

Give the guys a break. No matter what they do, it is never the right thing.

End rant!

I´m not rant, just curious...

May i ask: Why the massive storm only afects the AP work? If all the servers are located in the same place/rack?

Yes. Storm. I know it.

Just wondering how only APv7 -services were shut down? Not the servers, like synergy. It is still running 'scheduling server' and 'scheduler process'. But not 'ap assimilator X' -service. Or server georgem.

Strange storm. Shutting down services, not servers.

I have never, ever, blamed S@H staff about these breakdowns (I blame funding). They do work as hard as possible they can do.

I respect them. Working long hours.

Respect.

Did AP ever come back up when everything else was shut down? If it wasn't I would guess someone just forgot to start it back up.

Yes, if you mean after the normal project Tuesday turndown. AP briefly came back up and the site was extremely slow for a couple of hours as usual. When I came back to look at the router outbound loading and server stats, I noticed the AP generation was zero and then noticed the AP servers and processes were disabled.

No I'm referring to yesterday when everything except the fora were off.

I notice everything AP is still down, and MB still appears to have 14 splitters running on 13 files.

No, AP did not come back after that.

Timeline is.. around 1815utc (1015 local), basically everything was shut off for about 5 hours. After that, all of the MB processes came back up and running, but now nearly 24 hours later, ALL AP processes are still disabled.

---

Linux laptop:
record uptime: 1511d 20h 19m (ended due to the power brick giving-up)

ALL AP processes are still disabled.

That is a perfectly good reason to panic.

I suppose it's possible they shut down the AP database just in case the storm knocks it out, because they aren't sure if it would come back if it suddenly cut off. But I doubt it.

I would be interested to see how long the current MB work supply lasts for. I hope we don't run out before APs are brought back online, as of 1 o'clock UTC there are 85 channels to do with 14 in progress and 111 done & 333 548 ready to send with the creation rate at 38.1414/sec

IMO, rather than doing nothing if we run out, we should reprocess very old data that was run wo the benefit of autocorrelation of other newer widgets.

Yep, it was all up and running for quite a while. Then Marvin died, and my recollection is that since that's the ultimate end point for data, when it crashes the upstream processes shut down to avoid data loss. Afaik, this has no relationship to the earlier issues with Bruno that had everything down for so long, except that perhaps trying to deal with the massive backlog after Bruno was restored may have caused Marvin's crash. Would only make sense ... but what do I know:)

Hi Speedy,
Well not too long:-(

Stats page shows loads of GPU tasks, but none are actually forthcoming when S@H updates, I just get told CPU tasks are available, but I haven't selected CPU in settings..

Something electronic needs a boot in the rear end:-)

I just received 32 GPU tasks 13/12/2014 5:11:45 p.m. | SETI@home | Scheduler request completed: got 32 new tasks
someone must of given it a boot as you said

There are still a lot of VLAR tasks about, so it can take several requests for GPU work before you're likely to get some.

Looks like more problems for with the server.

Sounds like it's really giving them some problems.

Fingers crossed and positive thoughts for them
