Message 929525 - Posted: 29 Aug 2009, 20:43:49 UTC - in response to Message 929520.  

Is there a particular cause this time? Parents just agreed to let CUDA run on their new laptop and it won't get any new tasks.

Oh my.......the Cricket graphs seem to show a downturn in traffic.
Not good.

Hang in there......hopefully one of the boyz will attend to it.

So, I'm thinking it might be one of these:

1. Bad router (Not possible, BOINC can talk to the servers)
2. Actually out of work.
3. Not giving some crunchers work because it want to tend to others.

Or something like that.

Now is the time where cache rules.........
Crunch 'em if you got 'em.

I suspect that one of the boyz will drop in sometime over the weekend to set things right.......
If not....we'll see 'em on Monday.

And the show goes on.

Feeling quite alarmed..

"30-Aug-2009 00:51:29 [SETI@home] Sending scheduler request: Requested by user. Requesting 935977 seconds of work, reporting 2061 completed tasks"

The sched_request_setiathome.berkeley.edu.xml has reached 8964KB in size.

Do you think that it would arrive to your servers at all or should i consider a detach perhaps starting from scratch?

Kind regards Vyper

I'm starting to think that you are correct here :/ .. (Keeping fingers crossed)

Keeping my hope up but if nothing improves and someone doesn't state anything else, i'm going to try a detach to see if the servers can cope with smaller stats files.

I seem to recall a thread that mentioned something about splitting the files ilnto smaller bites......

With only 1 cuda card per rig, I hope I do not run into such problems.

Best of luck to you......you Cuda king.

Thank you Mark. Good luck to your i7 920 rig too dude.

I hope it would clear soon, got some work left though until a detach is the only solution to get this working.

Got the dreaded "30-Aug-2009 01:10:31 [SETI@home] Scheduler request failed: HTTP internal server error" frequently.

They'll fix it.

The 920 is still smokin'....
And temporarily got the GTX285 cookin' on the Frozen Nehi too....
Can't wait for the upgrade to the GTX295 CO OP card......
Might not be able to clock it to the max, the Nehi only has a 750w PSU....
I see the killawatt on the 920 rig hitting 680w or so on a regular basis, and saw it hit 780 once.

Eric Korpela posted in this very thread that he was "in process of fixing this problem". Why not leave your host trying to report at least until your cache is empty, to help him find out if he's got the cure right?

I'd wait a bit before detaching, and hope the clamering for work dies down a bit,
enough so you can report.

Well a few people have already noted that the server status page is live again, and cricket shows a maxed-out spike, so it would appear the download servers shut off for some reason.

At the moment, one of the servers is shut off whilst the other is running.

Vyper, I would suggest either waiting for the bandwidth to not be maxed out, or possibly give breaking client_state into smaller pieces.

Though Eric is supposed to have fixed/tweaked some setting, and as others said, it would be nice to know if the adjustment actually worked.

Due to the length of the outage, uploads & downloads are probably going to be heavy for at least the next 2-6 hours. After that surge things should be able go through without problems.

Are you sure that you all interpret Eric's post well?

English isn't my first language, so I could fail.. ;-)

I posted two problems:

  • xxx WUs/GPU disabled
  • big .xml report file can't reach the scheduler

First is now again enabled.

But - second also?

PLEASE DONT DETACH

(Off topic HDD clicked again... It's doing it once a day.... Just a strange click, nothing more. Getting kinda worried. Sucks that dad shuts off the edit suite right when I'm about to complete a back up)

But anyway, Why waste all of that work? The HTTP error thing is happening on all of my machines, so it's not related to your problem.

IDK, but I'm kinda attached to your attachment problem, so to speak. I'm over here rooting for the upload to go through.

Can't you move part of that file to something temporary?
