Living on your caches, then?

Yeah 4 day cache here now, and that should be more than enough to ride out all but the most extreme outages

I must confess I am slacking, only reporting every 6 hours or so at the minute.

I do apologise from the heart of my botton to anyone who is waiting for me to report a work unit.

I guess having a large cache is a good idea at the minute. Feel sorry for the guys, they work there a**'s off yet it seems 1 step forward 2 steps back at the minute. They must get so frustrated in that office.

Cheers joker, that's mother dog Tessa.

I've swapped the pitchfork for a Jack Knife, a bit more modern.

We continue to have workunit storage server problems but hope to have the machine replaced today (but may not have it on line until tomorrow). Until this new system is in place workunit downloads will be disabled.

Good thing I have plenty of WU's on my other projects, as I am down to my last WU on SETI and SETI Beta.

I'm still hoping to reach 50k for SETI before the end of the month!

also see Matt's post titled Moribund Monday (Apr 14 2008) in the Technical News forum.

Continuing problems with the workunit storage server... There were more resets over the weekend, ultimately resulting in one that caused the server to think enough drives have failed to call the entire RAID dead. We are confident we can trick the server into thinking otherwise - we actually have some helpful techs logged in doing that as I type. We still want to replace the whole box, which we'll hopefully do today, and then the drives will have to resync again. Chances are we'll be down until tomorrow (Tuesday).

So while we are down we'll try to catch up on several things. Moving servers around the closet, incorporating the new drive enclosure that arrived today, getting more stuff on the new KVM, etc.

Sorry folks but it is my fault. Got one of my problem machines fixed and was going to get it online today...This seems to happen everytime I build a new machine...or fix one....

Hello Matt, thanx for the INput, hope you get server OUTput without to much hassle. ;)
We will 'survive' the weekly outage. Looks like a lot off work.

*panic off*

Rule #1: Only panic if it's a hardware problem.

Rule #2: It's always a hardware problem.

(These rules may be transmogrified depending on which department you're in.)

But I work in the remote administration of network printers.
That's software controlling hardware.......

According to the server status page the two download servers are back up:
download server 1 bane Running
download server 2 vader Running
Nothing coming through yet but then am I surprised? I guess it shows that Matt is up early as promised, poor guy, and getting on with a seemingly endless task!

And, of course, as soon as I posted that, down they go again! Oh well, trouble up at t'mill but workers are attending to't.

Well I have one machine out of work now. Its a P4 @ 3Ghz (usually does orbit and seti). I will have to give it a bit of extra cache :-)

One of my quaddies has decided einstein is the way to go and the other two quaddies have a bit of seti stuff left before they also become dedicated einstein crunchers. Ah what fun we have.

I must have got lucky as all my Quads managed to snatch work in the brief time the servers have been back up. I do have a 10 day cache though, so little danger of running out of work (I would have hoped!).

Considering the outages We're having and have had in the past, I have a 2.5 day cache, At one time someone said that was excessive, I'm glad I ignored that and left It there now. The poor server, dying before Its time, have to put It to sleep today so It'll be out of Its misery and then We should be able to rest easier. :D

I did wonder if 10days was excessive, but as the machines are dedicated crunchers and I only crunch for SETI they can keep plodding on while things are broken. My Internet connection has been down for several days in the past, so again I'll be able to ride out that if it happens again.
