Yes, I see I have stated to get some, hopefully it will continue, cache was set to 1 day, although I did lower to 0.5 day to see if that helped.

as tasks hopefully come in I will see if I can gradually increase cache number.

There are two cache settings, for Boinc 7 you should set the first one to a higher number, and the second to a lower number, ie 1 + 0.01
(Boinc 7 will wait for the amount of work cached to fall below the 1 setting before asking again, if you put a higher number in the second setting and a low number in the 1st, Boinc 7 will wait until it's almost empty before asking again)

Claggy

the number for the second cache is currently 0

With the way the cricket graph is slowly building i wonder if some thing is being used to further track down our gremlins and see where the break point is from a different angle.
and still lots wu RTS.

My impression is that they are throttling the feeder, and may be slowly releasing the throttle. Either that or the way things are working the proportion of APs being sent out is increasing for <waves hands> some reason </w>.

Now that it seems that the feeder is back up to speed hopefully the backlog of unsent work over the last few days will clear up soon as well.

Cheers.

If I get one more AP, I'll have a full 10-day cache. I guess that's about the only good thing to being CPU-only is it makes a large cache less than the limits.

With MB my Core2 Duo can last for about 4 days with long running WUs, probably 5 if they were all VLARs.
On my i7 even with all VLARs the present limits wouldn't give me a days work.

Bad kitty juju here.......
Some time last night there was a power glitch, and EVERYTHING reset.
Most of the rigs restarted OK, but a couple of them hung, including the Frozen One, who's compressor does not appreciate being restarted like that.
Or the freaking modem and router, who apparently cannot come back up without a few restarts by the kitty paws.
Not a great good welcome morning here.

I'm concern that they haven't powered down for the scheduled electrical work. I'm concerned because I could see that the staff was told the work was delayed but sometime today someone else will simply cut the power, leading to a mess that'll take days to restore.

Keith...

I am sure they have it covered.
The work was rescheduled.
I am sure we shall see a notice when they are gonna do it.
They're not simply gonna cut out the line to the SSL without notice.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

The fact that Matt has sent out a message saying that the outage has been cancelled indicates that the outage for the repairs to the SSL-wide power systems has been cancelled for this weekend, and that the whole of the SSL will be breathing a communal sigh of relief. One of two things has happened - the uni has not been able to undertake the repairs this weekend for whatever reason, or the uni has found a way to conduct the repairs without shutting down the whole of the SSL. I suspect the former is the more probable, so there will be a planned outage for the work to be done, and there will be notice of it being done so the whole lab can prepared for it.

(We are looking forward to version four of a similar outage where I work.)

Looks like there can be some outage on Monday, though.

Scheduled Outage Space Sciences Laboratory

Outage Type: SCHEDULED OUTAGE
Date Submitted: Monday, January 7, 2013
Outage Start/End Time: 0630 – 0700
Groups Impacted: Space Sciences Laboratory
Equipment: sut1ds, sslringsut1fes

Description: Users on the PPCS-SSL-net_169.229.155.240/29 subnet will be without network connectivity while a switchport is reconfigured.

But perhaps that it only affects the forums, and not the data carrier.

If they have to do any transformer work, total outage is likely.

Only half an hour allotted, and before normal working hours at Berkeley - should be minimal impact on us, probably just the forums and front page.

Yeah, OK.
I am an electrician, and know what we can do, LOL.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

This is an ITS outage, not a power outage, and it only affects (one of) the out of building switches, so the servers will be able to carry on, but there may be no out of building connectivity depending on which switch they are working on and how that switch is being reconfigured.

I take it you haven't worked with contractors, utilities or a university maintenance department before. It makes those 6 hour windows for the cable guy seem downright convenient. ;)

Edit: Okay, they did canceled it. Now back to your previously scheduled grumblings already in progress.

which switch they are working on and how that switch is being reconfigured.

That can be :-
software
firmware
hardware
reboot
steel toecap boot ....
hammer
wire cuters
trash IT

Just now downloads are back to their normal - about as fast as a snail with arthritis moving across coarse glass paper...

Unlike when there were 4,000,000 awaiting download when I couldn't get any, but downloads were fast.

I just wonder if they were trying to see what happens if you overfill the tanks, and at what point the downloads "work well". Keep going down, its a long way below the current level.
