The thickness of the dark green part at the beginning of a file being split bar will indicate how many splitters are working on that 1 file and sometimes all of them can be working on just 1 file. ;-) So many channels per tape it's hard to tell how many are working a given tape, and the resolution is too fine to tell visually ... |

So that little sliver of dark green at the start of blc2_2bit_guppi_57423_32060_HIP53824_0017 isn't a single splitter, but all of them on the one file. Yeah. It works well for Arecibo files, but not so well for GBT. Once again, it would be nice if they could get the splitters to each work on a different file. Grant Darwin NT |

I do not know if it is just me, but every time I look I see 7 channels of GBT data being split???? or am I looking somewhere you are not? I have thought that looking at the Server Status column of servers and counting the servers active each indicated a channel.

Take a look at your pendings for Dec 5 and 6. There's tons of WU's still waiting for validation, even though they are finished by both _0 and _1. I'm seeing the same, after some random spot checks of my boxes. Looks like it's all work where the last wingman reported on Dec 5-6-7. |

Take a look at your pendings for Dec 5 and 6. There's tons of WU's still waiting for validation, even though they are finished by both _0 and _1. . . Strange, out of my 3 rigs only one has tasks in this state but it has something like 45 of them. So if 1 in 3 has this problem then that, as you say, would add up to an awful lot of tasks in limbo on a global scale. I hope they are aware of the problem and again like you I hope they fix it tomorrow ... Stephen . |

I hope they are aware of the problem and again like you I hope they fix it tomorrow ... I'm seeing it on 3 of 5 rigs, all on jobs returned 6 Dec 2016, and all have been in that state since 6 Dec. (i.e., both wingmen returned the work on 6 Dec) Given that, no maintenance tomorrow will resolve this unless it is specifically addressed, I would guess. Hopefully there's someone reading this thread that can get the report to the right folks ... |

I hope they are aware of the problem and again like you I hope they fix it tomorrow ... Out of ~1400 pending tasks I have ~60 from that time period pending. Out of that 14 that are awaiting validation with two results that were returned on the 6th or 7th. There is a process that will check the tasks again when their original Report deadline passes. Then they should be sent to the validator. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Hal is correct and this has happened before, several times in fact over the years, but thankfully I have none of those here this time. Cheers. |

I should've went back further it seems, 66 of them, but their deadlines are 25, 26, 27 January so they should clear over the next few days. Cheers. |

I had one of these "stuck" tasks as an AP a couple months ago. The automatic mechanism finally did clear it after about 4 months of hanging around after it hit its deadline. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

I wonder at times if this is the way it will end(the project). We go into the Tuesday outage...............and never emerge............ "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

I'm getting work. But once again it's taken changing & then changing again the application settings. Even with all of that, getting work after this outage is proving more difficult than after the last one. Grant Darwin NT |

I'm getting work. There's got to be something we're all missing here, though I have no clue what it could be. As usual, all 5 boxes here are full-up (1800 total tasks) within 30 minutes after the outage. What's different? |

I'm getting work. Timing? Being one of the first to request work after the servers come back online? Being geographically closer, allowing for less latency in requests? What i'm still trying to figure out is why I have to change the Application settings once or twice a day to be able to keep getting work. Eventually, even after the post outage congestion, the usual response from the Scheduler these days is "Project has no tasks available." Change the Application settings, then it has work available. At least for 12 or more hours. Then I get to do it all over again. Grant Darwin NT |

I'm getting work. I sure wish we could figure out what mechanism is in play and how to configure around it. I haven't bothered playing around with preferences since it never seemed to have any effect on my machines. I am still getting work in 4-6 task downloads when I request work. About 4in5 requests end up with the " no tasks are available " message from the servers. It will take me about 2 days to get back to my full quota.
