I've only got three in pending and none of them validated but at least one of them got looked at so they could send it out again. My wingman screwed it up and I've been waiting 3 or 4 days for it to get reissued.

19 in-progress/queued

That's my ap_v5 experience so far.

I see "ap_validate2" is not running again and "waiting for validation" is increasing. Hopefully will be looked at on today's downtime. Had been working for a while recently.

Then it appears the AP team still hasn't found/fixed the problem. Matt mentioned last week that the script that builds the server status page goes through every 10 minutes and restarts all the processes that have issues. ap_validate2 is specifically for ap_v5, and it gets a few jobs done, and then segfaults, and doesn't get "kicked" until the script runs through again. It is doing something, just not as much as it could be doing.

Look how many recordings they've loaded on the splitters (Server status page)!

Are the crew all planning to go on vacation together, or something?

I suspect they just want more uninterrupted time to try to eliminate server issues (or eliminate those ants ... LOL).

I think they're trying to refocus all efforts into getting the Nitpicker running in time for their 10th anniversary. Matt has been hinting at this a couple of times in his Tech News already. Next month is the big deadline, and I don't know how much work they have ahead of them.

Message 874623 - Posted: 11 Mar 2009, 14:23:52 UTC

I was going to make some comment last week about there being 50+ "tapes" online. Must have gotten all that new storage working properly. I still think we need more MB splitters though. When I change my venue to non-ap_v5, I keep getting no work available or just one MB at a time. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Still wondering why all I get is ap_v5 even though all are selected. Seems like the scheduler doesn't want me to have anything else..

Do re-issued tasks get priority when work is being sent out?

It could be that the thousands of APv5's getting quota trashed every night are clogging the pipes.

/edit, Not sure more splitters are needed since the ready to send is usually full. Perhaps more feeder cache space.

Edward, do you have your PC working on a 24/7 basis?
Do you turn it off/on every day?
Maybe your settings are not up to date anymore....I see you joined long time ago but your RAC is very low. You need indeed a long time of inactivity if you show only 4 as your RAC.
I have only one Astropulse crunching for the last three days, so I had no connections to the SETI server for uploading any work units, but Einstein is running/operating fine.
I would check the settings and reboot the PC.
