Ever since the last weekly outage there have been issues with Splitter output, and both AP & MB Results awaiting purge & WU awaiting purge, Results awaiting validation & WU awaiting deletion & WU awaiting assimilation.
Nothing that's had any impact on users, but just a general malaise where the servers just aren't able to keep up with everything at the same time. It clears one backlog, only for another to form elsewhere.

Seems Beta has run outta work, Tasks ready to send 0
Can someone please load some more work at Beta?

Beta is Still out of work.....

Not a panic, but a just some wondering- What on earth is going on with the AP Results Awaiting validation? Every so often there are small surges in the AP Results Awaiting validation numbers. No change in the In progress numbers, but there are surges in Received last hour, and drops in Average turnaround time. It's as though a large batch of resends have just been returned (150-200) all in one hit.

AP work that was sent out on the 9th Oct timed out this morning and I got 1 of those resends, it was validated 4hrs later.

Yeah, but id expect resends to occur daily (at least over the period AP was being sent out for. There have just been the odd blips, here & there.
The numbers and their timing just appear odd to me.

Greetings,

[edit]Ok, they're starting to trickle in now, a few at a time here and there. [/edit]

The server status says there are over 600K WUs ready to send and I'm getting this:

Well what a morning to have a longish outage and a frosty cold snap at the same time, I woke up cold. :-(

Cheers.

Bummer, made use of the downtime to re-arrange my systems in a better fashion and start bringing them up to find no work is avail. Here's to hoping it gets fixed soon.

Well the caches on both my rigs are again full and things are starting to warm up. :-)

Cheers.

Still No Work at Beta. Tasks ready to send = 0

Waiting on a power supply for one of my iMac's, so no real tragedy.

The Beast had a hiccup. after the outage, I was unable to VNC into it. but I could see its IP still active in my router. so I ssh'd into it, but it just hung when trying to run nvidia-smi. it would run htop though, which showed the system pretty much idle doing nothing.

i guess a driver crash? when i was able to get back to the system and hard reboot it, BOINC showed a couple computation error task, followed by a long string of "Exceeded time limit" tasks. (NOT the ongoing Windows/nvidia driver/SoG issue with Arecibo VHARs, this is a Linux box on Special App, and it was working on BLC13s at the time) So i lost a couple hours of crunching.

I guess I can't complain, it had been running untouched for nearly 2 months (59 days).

I see that precise sequence once a week or so on one or the other of the Linux boxes here.

today alone i gobble up 2.3k worth of units.
i am running dry.

Still No Work at Beta. Tasks ready to send = 0

I finally got my latish model Android phone setup to crunch for Beta so someone hopefully could get us some updated tasks that would run on late model Androids.
Its been "waiting for work, nothing to do" for "several" days now.

Still nothing at Beta....

And there's still a general post outage malaise with the Seti servers.
