Nope, it just went over 200 posts and for those on dial-up that is the point that it starts slowing down for them. ID: 948699 ·

Matt indicated in tech news that they were gonna be playing a little hanky panky with the server setup during today's outage........ So I wouldn't be surprised if something bombs......

"At the end of the day yesterday our raw data file server lost a drive. The bottom line as far as you're concerned is that we had to stop the creation of workunits until we got on top of the RAID resync issues this morning. But by then we were into our normal weekly outage, so you've been unable to get any work for a while, and will continue to not be able to do so until I start splitting up again - probably later this evening. Meanwhile, every other part of the project is coming back online. We're testing the new mysql commit behavior (mentioned in yesterday's post). It's not looking good right out of the gate, but that may be due to mysql needing to read everything back into memory again after a bounce to pick up the configuration change. I may have to bounce it again if it continues to be a problem. I hope not, but it's no big deal either way." "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ID: 949529 ·

Last modified: 24 Nov 2009, 23:05:22 UTC Weird, some of my machines can connect but this one I'm at won't...Must be time for a restart. You can reboot, but it might not change anything.... Could just be a chance thing of hitting the servers at just the right moment... 3 of my 8 rigs have reported in, but I just hit the update button on a 4th to try it, and it couldn't connect. Bandwidth is still pretty low, so it's either Matt's experimental setup not working or up to speed yet, or other problems with things resynching. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

As of 25 Nov 2009 20:10:13 UTC Because many thousands of computers are right now clamoring for those same WUs...... The bandwidth is saturated, and even connecting to the servers is hit and miss at the moment. The fact that the bandwidth is saturated is proof that the work is going out. Give it time, and work should start to flow normally, barring any more server crashes. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ID: 949782 ·

If the server shows 241,000 results ready to send then why am I not getting any? As of 25 Nov 2009 20:10:13 UTC As Mark says..... The number is the number "split" as of that time. In a sense, it represents history. Split work is picked up by the feeder, and placed in a 100 work unit feeder queue. The scheduler can only assign what it has in the feeder queue. This serves to spread work over time when demand is high (to try to avoid the huge collisions when they all complete quickly). ... and there is always a chance that the number is a bit stale.
