Well my 3570K rig is now idling while my 2500K loads up. Cheers. |

Wow, there actually has been progress in reducing Results returned and awaiting validation from whence I looked last. Down about 600K from the previous snapshot from a several hours ago. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Wow, there actually has been progress in reducing Results returned and awaiting validation from whence I looked last. Down about 600K from the previous snapshot from a several hours ago.The result of no new work for an extended period. Now that new work is going out, say goodbye to that progress. Grant Darwin NT |

Well, it's gone from downloads timing out almost instantly, to sticky downloads. 5min+ of Elapsed time counting away, and not so much as a bit transferred on this latest batch. And the usual fix for this problem (Suspend & then re-enable network activity) isn't having any effect. Even the uploads are having more issues than usual with the instant timeouts. For Eric's to do list. Once they get the database issues sorted out, then it's time to work on the download server & upload server issues. Edit 10+ minutes, and nothing transferred. 12 min for things to finally start, 5 more minutes of suspending & enabling network access to get them all downloaded. Grant Darwin NT |

Ok, I've had it. Enough is enough..... . . Yep it does get that way ... . . I'm taking the time to try and rebuild/update my Core2 Duo rig. . . Later versions of Linux and BOINC and special sauce. It's going to be a headache because the existing version is a repository BOINC in the system part of the disk. So moving it so a nice quicky SSD in the user part of the new drive will be a headache, but if I follow the Juan method I should be OK. . . So in due course; the fullness of time; further down the track; sometime in the distant future ... I should be able to return this unit to SETI when there is more work being sent out and with a neater, slightly quicker system. This optimism is unlike me but what the heck ... Stephen <shrug> |

Running empty again. Shooting down the host to save some electric power. . . Following Grumpy's example then ? :) Stephen |

And now and again out at Parkes.Or maybe just at the Breakthrough Listen office down on Campus - that's where I found him back in July.Yeah Matt has been over at the Breakthrough Listen project for a couple of years now.Yeah Matt is really missed in times like these and he would've had those MBv7's put to bed long ago.Wait, I've been out of the loop for a while. Matt left? . . Not recently I don't think :( Stephen ? ? |

A word of warning- if you do manage to sore some work, be prepared to have to Retry pending transfers a few 100 (it feels like a thousand) times. . . been there, done that, over and over and over and ... oh what the heck ... Stephen :( |

Just ran across something new. I looked at my pending page and found a workunit at randon. It said "completed, waiting validation. But when I clicked on it to see the status, I found this https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=3863183873 Reported by 3 units and validated. Something is borked. Dave |

That's not unusual. The first 2 tasks did not match but were close. The 3rd was close enough to validate the first 2. |

Reported by 3 units and validated. Side effect of the minimum 3 quorum for early overflows and the flakey AMD card problem. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

I am getting a very small flow of Seti@Home tasks. So I have NNTed both E@H and WCG in hopes of sucking more down :) Some of the weather tasks run more than a half a dayso it will take a while to widdle about half of them down. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

I guess I was not clear. Looking at my pending page, it says that the workunit is "completed, waiting validation" YET looking at the workunit, it says validated. Just ran across something new. Dave |

Just ran across something new. . . Not sure what your issue is with that WU. Normally a WU will linger in the system for approx 24 hours after validation, currently with the problems everyone has been discussing and are very concerned about they are hanging about for much longer. That unit has only just validated so I would not expect to wave goodbye to it for a day or 3 yet ... . . OH, maybe you missed the discussion of the change that was introduced because of NAVI cards whereby overflow results are being triple checked for validation. {edit} . . The misleading listing on the your stats page may be due to the lag with the replica database?? Stephen :( |

Yes, things are borked. That is what this thread has been discussing for the past two weeks. Also the replica database is 8000 seconds behind. So what you see on your page is already 2 hours old. There is nothing normal about the current situation so no reason to expect normal classifications. I would just not worry about it since there is nothing you can do on your end to change anything.

There will also be weirdness from the replica db not being caught up with the main db. |

Tired of this current snafu. Shut my crunchers down and will hold off until SETI has a couple of days of normal work flow. Good crunching, all. |

I am seeing no reductions in the size of the database with all the task counts at all time highs. Nothing is going to happen until we fall below the magic 20M number.We fell below that at 02:50 UTC, but nothing has happened yet at the splitters. Assimilation queue seems to be slowly going down now. Two steps down, one up. |

Assimilation queue seems to be slowly going down now. Two steps down, one up.Until we can get "Results returned and awaiting validation" down to around 3.5 million (given the present amount of Work in progress- so 7 million to go), and the "Workunits waiting for assimilation" back down to 0 (3.7 million to go), any new work just causes those numbers to climb. And ideally we'd want the purge numbers to be within about 500k of the In progress numbers (i think that was the general ball park when things were working). Grant Darwin NT |
