The main boinc database suffered a crash this morning. We are back up and running now and are catching up on work distribution. |

A few more details... The machine that the database was on completely hung up and required a hard reset. This introduced corruption into the database on restart. Luckily, the replica database was OK and caught up. We switched the master/replica relationship between the two machines and are still recovering (using yesterday's backup) the "new" replica. Once that recovery is complete, we will restart replication. |

A few more details... Thanks for the info. This caused even the whole web site to go down? David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

I don't think so. Yesterday I noticed that none of my computers have been able to send completed work in. I have 40 to 60 completed jobs sitting in my task list for each of my two desktops and my powerful notebook and my RAC number has not been modified for a couple of days now on either of those machines. This afternoon I started to get long Communication deferrals of 3 hours or more. That started a little earlier with a 60 minute delay. Things looked ok when the site first came up out of the maintenance period. I haven't been able to find anything posted on this when I search all the message threads, but it appears that something is very wrong with the upload process. I am continuing to process the work I have hoping that it will resolve itself. I notice a number of transient http errors and messages saying the internet connection seems to be down. My computers are reporting jobs completed, but on my more active machines, nothing gets out. My less powerful notebooks seem to post eventually, but they too are having problems with reporting out.

Brother Frank, MilVetRetired, and Les73gtx (and anyone else having trouble with communication), I suggest you check the Number Crunching forum on this message board. I'd start with the thread "Panic Mode On 77[?] Server Problems?", but skip ahead to the last day or two.

Good Morning: I have noticed that "Seti" has been down going on three days. Do you have any idea as to when you will be back on line. Have many completions I need to upload. Have a great weekend and thank you. Richard Le Vine |

Are you guys still having issues with this incident. I'm getting very few tasks and my PC is sitting idle 90% of the time for the last few days.

I'm having same issue as others who are reporting no uploads or downloads for the last few days. I currently have 45 completed units but when I click "Update", I eventually get a "communication deferred xx:xx:xx" I checked the server status and it looks like most all of them are up and running. The only ones "not running" are ntpckr_small_sig1, ntpckr_small_sig2, ntpckr_small_sig3, and ntpckr_small_sig4. The only ones "disabled" are rfi_small_sig1, rfi_small_sig2, rfi_small_sig3, and rfi_small_sig4. So, why no communication? |

The last message on the Message board stating "We are recovering from a database crash" is dated the 24 Oct. No messages since. I too cannot send completed units or received new ones. Perhaps everyone at Seti has gone on holiday and forgot to mention that to all of their volunteer users. Guess we will have to wait and see what happens next. |

One trick some of us have found useful is to go into the Projects tab in boincmgr, select seti@home and then click on No New Tasks and then Update. Seems that the timeouts occur when the scheduler is asking for new tasks. Click on Allow New Tasks once the scheduler request completes, so you get more work when the blockage clears. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Thanks Ivan, that worked for me. I was able to upload my results but I'll have to wait a bit to see if I'm able to download more work units. I'm completely out on 1 of my machines. |
