Hope they load up some more data soon- we've just about finished off the current batch of work. More work was added overnight New Zealand time |

I often wonder if we are processing and returning so much data so quickly that we are slamming the servers more than they can handle. Thus leading to our never ending issues with the servers getting stuck or crashing.. Random thoughts in the middle of the night.... |

So, none of the problems solved? Guess it's still not worth the effort to turn the system back on, as it would run out of work all the time? |

The servers are keeping up with tasks requests, but not able to create much of a cache. As it is there is no problems getting work, but will be starting maintenance soon here ... |

A few problems contacting the Scheduler, then able to report some of the completed work, but unable to get new work. I think it'll be that way for a while. WooHoo! Just picked up 1WU. Forums are flaky, many of the Server Statuses haven't updated yet (a couple have). Some Scheduler replies take the usual amount of time, others are taking a minute or two. Grant Darwin NT |

Whew, that was a short one .... Reason for the short maintenance period as you put it was because of the following Copied from front page from Eric he outage ran long today because we needed to run down to the data center to swap some bad drives with new ones and reboot a few of the machine to pick up kernel and mysql updates. |

Bad drives = Good news! Maybe the source of the file system lag has been found. |

Longer the party, the worse the hangover ... Good to see an Aricebo tape from last week here and getting split. In fact, that's pretty awesome, I think. |

Longer the party, the worse the hangover ... Yeah, but even given the length of this last outage, this is a rockier than usual recovery. If the failed drives were part of a RAID array (highly likely), then that's going to take ages to rebuild, and really hit on performance while it occurs. EDIT- AP ready-to-send up to 900, but in-progress is still falling. Looks like they're being split, but nothing is being sent out yet... I haven't picked up anything since that one off WU- usually that doesn't happen till the ready-to-send buffer is empty & the splitters still haven't fired up. EDIT- C2D has picked up 2 downloads, but they just sit there for 20sec or so & then go in to project backoff. Grant Darwin NT |

If any company ran like this in real world they would be shot, ( no feed back, no heads up on issues ) Not the Seti I remember!.. |

If any company in the real world had Seti's funding they wouldn't still be operating. Eric posted in the News forum about what happened, and that makes it appear on the home page. Comparing Seti to a commercial operation is just a bit on the ridiculous side of things. Grant Darwin NT |
