I noticed early in the AM that the cricket graph flatlined, but the pages here still worked. I believe this is because the website is on the campus network, and just the data for the project goes through the hurricane electronics link?

I did notice that while cricket was flatlined (0.00 kbps for inbound and outbound), I had two uploads that would immediately fail. Problem went away though, and everything is smooth again after a short period of link saturation.

When we were discussing failed uploads a couple of weeks ago, somebody linked to a recent CISCO advisory recommending an operating system upgrade to forestall a possible DoS attack.

SETI uses high-spec CISCO routers on the Hurricane Electric tunnel. Applying the patch to one of those would explain the total flatline that Cosmic_Ocean noticed.

The 2_3 modem is still reporting ok here: http://fragment1.berkeley.edu/newcricket/grapher.cgi?target=%2Frouter-interfaces%2Finr-250%2Fgigabitethernet2_3;view=Octets;ranges=d%3Aw

note the display is reversed compared to the 5_1 modem, so "bits in" is the download side and "bits out" is uploads.

The 5.1 Cricket graph just shot back up, so it looks like somebody rebooted whatever was causing the problem.

Anyone else not able to report tasks ?
I have about 600 to go.

My Laptop took quite a few attempts, but it only had 9 tasks to report,
so give it a bit more time for things to settle down.

Will do.
This is a bit unusual though as it is usually uploads that do not work after an outage.
All my tasks have uploaded ok but I am not able to report them.

Working slow but getting on.

Well, it looks like the forums are back, sort of.
Still lots of red on the Server Status page & not much network traffic. Hopefully the beast will awaken fully in the not too distant future.

Well, that was fun. Some time this morning, I was looking at a screen saying 9,999,821.19 credits (since copied to BOINCstats). Now it says 10,000,025

So, many happy returns to me. But I fear I may have clicked 'update' once too often this morning....... ;-)

the reporting seems to work now - BUT requests for work say no jobs available despite what the server status says.

the reporting seems to work now - BUT requests for work say no jobs available despite what the server status says.

The status says all of the splitters are either disabled or not running and at the same time there's supposed to be a result creation rate of almost 25 per second.

One of them has to be wrong. No splitters equals zero creation rate.

Look at when the stats were last updated.

I still feel however busy any body is it only take seconds to post to let us all know there is a problem.

I just feel sometimes that we are an annoyance if we want to know what is happening. I have 5 pc's running SETI@HOME nothing else, please can I at least hope to know when the problem is fixed. Is that expecting too much?

I don't expect servers to be up 24/7 I work in IT so I do realise there can always be problems, but we are the customers of this project, without us it would not exist. So could someone other than Matt please post as to the problems and solutions.

Thank you.

That depends where they are and what access they have from wherever they are. It's the weekend remember - everyone deserves a break sometimes.

As for the outage, I suspect they've done the bare minimum needed to get the site functional again and will do the cleanup as/when they can. Judging by the errors and the server status, one of the DB servers may have died horribly. If so, that's going to take quite some cleaning.

I see one hour ago. And there were/are no disks to split.

Could this be the beginning of the month long outage? I've never seen the status page without disks listed for splitting. Even when they're all completed splitting they still show up on the page.

Just be grateful

Eric Korpela reports:
"Our database machine crashed. I can't get in to campus. Matt's nowhere to be found. Jeff's in Nepal. Dan's in South Africa. Please spread the word that we know that there's a problem."

We're lucky any of it came back up on a Saturday.

Just got three new tasks. So, the status page is behind and everything is working...slowly but working.

Just be grateful

I think they can remotely login to the servers and fix certain problems. Not positive about that, but I seem to remember Eric mentioning it one time.

Edit: maybe it was Matt that mentioned it. or maybe it was never mentioned at all. lol I can't always trust my memory especially when I'm sick with pneumonia. The x-rays confirmed it on friday and this is the third time this year. Getting old is a biotch. Smoking doesn't help either...

Yes but unless Matt post we never find out something was wrong. No one else ever seems to care, which is rather strange because if we all decided to stop crunching for SETI@HOME there would be no results.
