WOW, my machine can reach again the S@h server without a proxy.
Also I can see again the test pages in my browser if I click to:
http://208.68.240.16 (upload)
http://208.68.240.13 (download #1)
http://208.68.240.18 (download #2)
http://208.68.240.20 (scheduler)

I hope this isn't only a temporary event.. ;-)

It would be nice if the S@h router problem is solved for everyone..

Is there a problem with the DB purging ? I noticed that completed and validated workunits are not removed from my list of validated tasks. Usually they are deleted about 24 hours after they were validated, but I now have lots of tasks that were validated several days ago.

Yes, it has been slow, but seems to be improving slowly since we came out of the outage.
Tuesday evening there were over 2 million Results awaiting db purge, Wednesday evening it was down to 1.57 million, but now it is at 1.74 million. All these shorties aren't helping.

But the problem is with the MB assimilator. Before they can be purged, they must be assimilated, and as of now there are 1,026,442 MB Workunits waiting for assimilation.

IF I understand the Validation/Assimilation/DB Purge process correctly, Results/Tasks/WorkUnits are not marked for DB Purge until after they are Assimilated. There is just a large backlog that will take time to work through.

Yes, that's what I meant of course, but I expressed it differently in English, than in my head in Swedish. Geeze, sometimes it's hard to live :-)

Edit: I wish our ancestors had refrained from trying to build the tower of Babel.....

LOL

Yeah, I know that feeling, too. Not quite fluent in Spanish, speak it just well enough to get myself in trouble ......
Always envied my cousin David, who in addition to English, is fluent in German, French, Italian, and is passable in Flemish and Dutch. (He worked as a sales rep for a large European chemical company for almost 10 years.)

Anybody here speak Frisian?

(In community college geography class, I was the only person to get 100 on the first exam, because I got Frisian as the answer to a question. The way the professor had presented it in class, though, I was totally surprised the question was there; it seemed like he was just tossing out a bit of trivia he found interesting, and I was the only student who felt likewise and remembered it.)

If Frisian means the North German idiom - I do unfortunately not.
But the funny thing is that some Frisian is very similar to English (spoken, not written)

Completely OT, but funny and my fifth post ;-)

Anybody here speak Saxon?

I had to learn to understand Frisian or Platt Deutsch if I wanted to know, what my Father, Grandfather and Grandmother were saying.

Donald, Dutch and Flemish are the same language.

Now back to being in a panic.

Well, I may be misremembering what my cousin said, but IIRC he mentioned Flemish as being one of the Belgian languages he had to learn. He was based in Brussels, and covered the German/French border areas, Switzerland, and northern Italy.

Anyway, I'm glad I don't have to keep all those different languages straight in my head.

I think a lot of Belgians (and a few Dutch) wil disagree with you :-)

The files ready for the splitters are no longer 50GB in size, not any of them. That is something new. Perhaps the staff found a way to filter out some crappy data, before the files are split into work units.

Have not seen any info on that, although Matt was talking about it. Would be a good thing if so.

Hm. That is interesting. IIRC, one of the channels or beams has the radar information in it. A while back, I suggested that when the raw data gets software-blanked before being split, generate a CSV list of where the blanking was so the splitters know to skip over it. My guess is that something similar happened, except the data that would be blanked is simply removed.. if that's even possible with the way the splitters chop the data up.

I guess we either listen for some kind of confirmation of that, or see if 30/30 (AP) or -9 (MB) occurrences become near-zero.

I seem to remember something being said about the files from the ends of the tapes being shorter. I think it had to do with the tapes not being exactly the same length and there was a bit left over at the end.

That is true, and did happen on occasion, but the amount of <50gb tapes that are present now is very much unusually high. Either there's just a bunch of these "end of the disk" tapes, or it is the new way to handle blanked portions of the tapes.

There are no AP files left to split, but tons of MB's. I only do AP nowadays, so this is disastrous, a catastrophy, the end of the world.

Or not :-)

LOL....still about 5000 APs left to send out into the wild.
Once those are out of the way, it shouldn't take just too long to split up and spit out the MB stuff.

I think you'll be good to go.
