No work is going out to any of my systems. Kind of expected that when things were back online, but server status page still shows a ton of work available - but that also shows as of 1hr ago, so that stat is not updating either.

I'm now connecting to the Scheduler more often, although still plenty of Scheduler errors there. Now when a connection does go through the response is within 3 seconds. And it's always "Project has no tasks available".

The database/File status page is now updating.
Apparently work is being split, and someone somewhere has received some work- Ready-to-send buffer has dropped by 100,000.
I just can't get any, even with changing application settings.


EDIT-
*bangs head on desk*
30 seconds after posting, one of my systems picked up some work.
Still can't get any on my main system, but at least there is some out there, occasionally, when you can contact the Scheduler...

Scheduler errors just about cleared up.
Now getting work on some requests.

Given the length of the outage, all things told, it's actually recovering pretty well. Now, if I can just recover from the havoc adding Einstein caused, I'll be happy ... NOT impressed with the initial startup process there ...

. . Did you set the E@H resource priority to 0%? That advice proved successful for me.

I also added E@H, but couldn't find where to set resource proiority....?

I too wasn't able to find the setting in BOINC Manager to change the priority on projects. And I made the mistake of downloading a crap load of tasks from 2 other projects so it might be a couple days before my Windows machine is able to start the Seti tasks it has. But I'm glad to wake up and see new Seti tasks have been downloaded to my 2 best computers!

The resource share is found on their website project preferences at Einstein just like here at SETI. ;-)

Cheers.

Thanks, I have changed the preference settings so now Einstein will remain an active project, but will use 1% of my resources during normal ops.

If you want to add E@H as a backup project the right thing to do is set recources to 0% (zero). With 1% Boinc will fill your cache with E@H WU.

Zero allow Boinc to get new E@H WU only when your S@H cache is empty and 1 WU at a time only.

Priority for projects are found on the individual project "my account" page. You will need to go to Einstein@home and select your account, then found you project preferences, find the one your computer is set to and then change the value from 100% or 50% to 0%. Then save. Have your computer update to that project, it will then be told it's new priority. The next time it connects again, it will follow that priority. In this case with a 0%, it will default as a back up project. When your main project has no work, the back up will down load just enough work to keep it busy for that duration (normally just 1 work unit per GPU unless you have an app_config.xml which tells it a different values). Once the main project starts to send work, the back up will not download any new work.

Edit....

Damn you Juan and your fast Brazilian typing....lol

Everything working now.
Thanks to the SETI staff for all their hard work on this.

. . I had the same problem. You have to set it on the E@H site, their selections are on a small menu bar just below the larger title bar at the top of the page.

. . I hope that helps.

. . That confounded me as well. I expected too much of the manager. You have to set each projects priority on that projects own site.

. . As ironic as it may seem you can set it as low as zero. Then it will only d/l tasks when your main project/s are without work. I have found so far that this works very well for me.

To set resource priority to other than the default 100, on the E@H web page, under tabs:
Account>Preferences>Project
it's the first field, Resource Share.

Like others, it may be a while before I'm back to pumping SETI, as I ended up with like 5600 tasks between 5 machines before I could get it choked off.

1 thing I found out a long time back was to set all my backup projects to use the generic/primary (default) preferences and set that low (0.5 days/0.1extra) while here at SETI I use the other venues for my rigs and set those high (5 days/0.1extra).

This way you won't get flooded by your backup projects when they're called upon. ;-)

Cheers.

Lol wiggo I tried that, had everything set to 0 priority and everything was fine, then wanted a 'little' cache, so set profile to 0.01 days(EDIT: Priority 1), double checked all the web prefs before applying .... the poof ... ARGGG .... damn that local 1.5 day setting .... I'm saving the tasks for Tuesday now, LOL.
