Yesterday the count hovered around 140K, 143K, 144K, for most the day. so you think that's some "Baseline"(for some reason), and then that would be the theoretical zero? Todays climb by 70K would be some normal fluctuation?

I think Paul's closer to the truth, and that the DB is undergoing some kind of internal function, and that the 70K is the inbound returns not being validated.

What do you think? anyone?

Remember that count was out by around 150k to start with. I think it's found those "missing" WUs. A few hours ago, it looked like it was going very slowly yet I was getting credit at a phenominal rate. ;)

Of course, maybe now the new server is spinning on the "garbage" collection spindle ...

I agree, the validator IS working, but I have no idea why the number keeps growing. The most likely reason is what Paul told. I have no other explanation.

In theory, the average number of WU and Results should be the same each day. But, with the connect every "x" being set differently, and people like me that "flush" our results daily, these numbers are not likely to ever be in balance.

So, minor fluctuations in results returned add turbulence to the process flow and may add to our troubles.

The validator is still working.

This



Is a good barometer of what is happening :)

another 48k and we're right back to where we started after the migration. Hope this upward trend does not continue.

Ready to send 1,275,094
In progress 706,226
Waiting for validation 210,906

Well, what ever it is continues to happen at a good clip.

Last hour on the stat pages shows that the Q grew by
another 15,000. I think that's much faster growth
than what was occuring when the old machine was
trying (but not able) to keep up. So either the Q is
getting much more input, or having much less validation
done, than was happening before the change over.

They probably remove WU's on the older server when queue got extremly large and are now inserting them back.

Yes, a very clear reversal of fortunes for the Validation Q -
it seems to have spent the last 10 or 12 hours adding several
thousand results per hour instead of clearing at that rate
as it had been since Friday. :(

Possible that an early-Sunday a.m. (CA time) cron job backup
or some such kicked in and took away resources from the DB or
or the validator? hmmm.

Dave

Yeah i noticed that today also =) strange... :/

Yesterday the number stuck around 143K give or take some, then this morning I see

Ready to send 1,279,362
In progress 1,713,462
Waiting for validation 199,788

Given that the new server was reducing this number by 6k/hr it should be down to zero (relative to new incoming units).

Hope nothings broke.
