I wonder if they set the RTS cache to 100k to see if less stress in the files system would help the server performance. It sure seems that way to my eye. I was kinda wondering the same thing. Usually by this time the day after the weekly maint, the RTS cache is back to normal of around 500k. ~Chris ID: 1972166 ·

Did I miss another hiccup again? Cheers. It's almost like you're shutting the system down when you go to bed .... . . Here I have the opposite issue , this machine 'shuts itself down' during the day when the heat gets too much to bear ... Stephen :( ID: 1972189 ·

So the tasks do NOT sit in limbo for 2 months and cause his wingmen undue delays ... Stephen ? ? I thought it was a good idea Speedy. I know when I got ghosts I did what I could so my wingman wouldn't have to wait forever, and so they would clear the db sooner. The system has been having enough hiccups lately as it is, I would think every little bit would help. Thank you both for your support in my decision to abandon the 178 tasks that turned into ghosts.

If someone gets worked up over a few WUs not being processed and having to wait for them to be resent then they really need to get a a reality check. Sure, if a system is causing nothing but ghosts, errors or what have you- that's a problem. But a one off of a few WU? Not an issue. Seriously. Which is why I asked why, that's all.

Nah, just the servers struggling more than usual. Look at the Purge backlog, to go with the Validation backlog, to go with the Awaiting deletion backlog (now cleared, for now), to go with the random Scheduler dead times each day, and of course the limited Splitter output. Things are not well. Edit- add to that list, sticky downloads. Grant Darwin NT ID: 1972289 ·
