It's the Friday before a holiday week and the servers know it. The file system containing the beta project uploads directory is having problems, so beta is down until further notice. This problem may be affecting the rate at which the main project can handle results, so the validation and assimilation queues are getting large, which may affect the rate of work generation. ![]() ![]() |

Thanks for letting us know. There's also a report in Q&A that trac seems to have become detached from svn: Warning: Can't synchronize with repository "(default)" (Unsupported version control system "svn": No module named svn). Look in the Trac log for more information. Trac Error Unsupported version control system "svn": No module named svnThat may or may not be related. |

Thanks Eric. I'm not surprised about the Beta issue though. I posted a couple of days ago on the Beta board, that it was tons of "Validate Error" on the "results" pages of all computers on Beta that was crunching. That continued until Beta went Kapoof....¨ Edit, added: Apart from that, it was months ago since the following stopped working properly on Beta: Number of tasks completed Max tasks per day Number of tasks today Consecutive valid tasks Average processing rate Average turnaround time ---------------------------------- The result was of course that the fastest app wasn't always the one that run the tasks, as well as other problems..... So, Beta has been limping along for a long time, before it finally went nighty night. |

The Beta servers just decided to have a break this year, so they broke..... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Eric, can you comment on why the beta server code was ported over to main, and maybe related, why anonymous platform hosts can no longer receive work? Is this intentional? Seti@Home classic workunits: 29,492 CPU time: 134,419 hours ![]() ![]() |

why anonymous platform hosts can no longer receive work? Is this intentional? If that is intentional please tell us, so we could power down our hosts. Hope was a simple mistake. ![]() |

Thanks Mr. Korpela for this revolutionary post that I believe users have been waiting for long: "The announcement of a server problem to users on a post unaffected by the server problem..." Hope this will be the sign of future announcements (which I hope to be less and less as problems are solved My best wishes to you and your staff... |

Eric, can you comment on why the beta server code was ported over to main, and maybe related, why anonymous platform hosts can no longer receive work? Is this intentional? Doubt its intentional. The beta server dying caused the main server to backup on its assimilating duties. Without that cleared it appears that it won't generate more work for anyone. ![]() In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

Unrelated to (or maybe related) the "anonymous platform" issues here on Main, it would be nice to be able to upload all finished tasks to Beta. Any idea when at least Beta's upload server will be online again? |

Seems that the lag has set in again. Yesterday seen a lot of activity allowing validations to take place rapidly, but today has been slowly creeping higher again. By the way, I hope you and the staff were able to enjoy the holiday, and I hope for a resolution before we make our new year's resolutions. Good luck to all. |

Big thanks to Eric and all those who worked late to get everything back up and running. :) Everything seems quite smooth since the switch back. Seti@Home classic workunits: 29,492 CPU time: 134,419 hours ![]() ![]() |
