Message 1919606 - Posted: 18 Feb 2018, 0:40:08 UTC - in response to Message 1919563.  

Quite some years ago I suggested that a customer mirror all his data, rent a SR-71 Blackbird, load all the mirrored volumes into it and fly his data across the country. This was in response to his anger that it would take years at that time to move all his data across the country via the internet of the time.

His sales rep totally lost his cool in the meeting although the customer finally realized the limitations of networks and physics.

. . First you have to have the magnetic media


We do

, and then the station wagon and a driver....

This is close enough.


. . Hi Mr Kevvy

. . OK, we have the media and the article on the second link (dated Dec 13th 2017 with accompanying photo) seems about right ... :)

A big thank you to Eric and Jeff for getting new data for us to work with on a Saturday evening.
Once again, beyond the call of duty, guys.

Thinks - I wonder what happened?

What's the ping time of a Prius between CA and WV? Nope...

Matt came back off tour just for the night? Nope...

Somebody plugged the router back in?

. . Or worse still, until Tuesday, something about President's Day over there? I was dreading a mad scramble for work with the outage breathing down our necks.

Thank you. Glad I was able to cheer somebody up. Things were getting gloomy around here.

Crunch data mapping about asteriods meantime! Our biggest enemy for space travel for hundreds of years at least.
Asteroids@home.
No use drawing a map for somone if they will be killed on the first turn is it?


Just tried to add the project to one of my Windows crunchers...BOINC failed to add it. Not sure why. I tried the forgot password deal but no account with my email address. Tried a longer password as well, that didn't work either. Guess I'll stick with my other 5 backup projects :-)



I also had the same problem trying to add Asteroids@home. Thought it was just me.

At least I received new SETI work this morning.

I assume that Jeff worked the magic to get at least some data in place. I would imagine that talk this week will be about shipping drives and the hardware needed to support it.

It depends if you are looking for a short term, or long term solution. I'm sure the network problems will be resolved at some point.

I don't know what you use for drives (SATA/SAS) in your systems there, but if you could get a pair of Small Business NASs, and use the same drives - you would have spares that you could use later on.

I just priced 2 x Synology 5-Drive (4TB ea) Raid5 systems on Newegg for $903 CAD each. That's around 2 weeks of files per shipment of the entire Raid, with plenty of time to fill/unload them. Definitely not Enterprise level ... but you are only reading/writing ~6 times per load with verifying data.

But do you need that much. If you use 12TB SATA drives in your systems, shipping one at a time could be fine. But have to connect it to a (desktop?) box each time and have the spares for later. Or get by with a pair of 4/6/8TB consumer drives?

I found a slight bandaid to this problem would be to max out the work days to 10. Helps fill in the gaps. Even then, it only buys a little time to crunch.

Thanks for all you guys do!

I appreciate your dedication to this project!

Cheers!

Doesn't help at all with the scheduler hard limit of 100 tasks per cpu or gpu.
