How does one tell if the jobs are resends?

In this case, we're talking about new - extra - replications of existing tasks , not about resending lost tasks.

You tell from the task name, as shown in BOINC Manager. You need to be able to see the very end of the name - so use advanced view, and make the column as wide as you need. The last two characters are as follows:

_0 - always the first time a workunit has been sent to a cruncher. Every WU has a task _0
_1 - in normal times, usually created at the same as _0 and sent out straight away. At the moment, some are being created and distributed later.
_2 onwards - probably a new replication, because the first two failed to validate (either because they returned different answers, or one of them never returned at all). But again, just at the moment, some results are untrustworthy, so _2 may be created for a safety-check.

Hi Richard,

I would like to add to you list above. I just found a WU ending with _3. I counted about 30 _2 WUs. Any ideas? :)



Have a great day! :)

Certainly something is going on. I went out at midday, UK time, and the replica was over 14 hours behind at that time.

Just looked and it is "down to" 5+ hours behind....

I see that all the usual backlogs- Validation, Assimilation & Deletion- continue to grow.

The Replica is down to around 3 hrs behind.

I've been getting several each day, even the very occasional _4.

I did say "_2 onwards". Just keep counting until you find two which match. They get killed off after _10.

Are they purging overflows as soon as they get validated now?

When the replica db is catching up, we effectively see time running in fast-forward on the web site.

Nice to be heading into the outage with full caches and a database that's looking at least a bit healthier.

Are we back?

Are we back?

Yep

Forums are extremely sluggish at the moment, and the Scheduler is slow to respond, but at least it is responding (with the usual after outage "Project has no tasks available").

So far, a pretty great recovery. Got all work reported in just a few retries, gotr a modest download on just one cruncher, db reported pretty quick and forum responsive. Here's hoping it's the new normal!

Maybe where you are, but here the forums have gotten even slower, and Scheduler requests are all erroring out now, "HTTP internal server error" or "HTTP service unavailable" or "Failure when receiving data from the per", or it's just timing out.

It's very, very borked.
Hopefully it won't take more than an hour or three to settle down.

. . My 2 smaller Linux rigs have reported their work OK, but the 2 main Linux rigs have not been able to report at all because of the errors above. And while I have had one or two "no tasks" mostly I cannot even talk to the servers.

Setting nnt until all work is reported has been very effective for me.

Yet another item on the list of things to be sorted out once the current mess has cleared.
Upload issues, download issues and Scheduler issues.

I just noticed we are back. And it wasn't a multi-day shutdown. Just a basic long Tuesday

Ready to send is just short of 1 million, now if only i could get a few of them...
My Windows system has managed to pickup almost 200 WUs in the last 20min, my Linux system less than 6 since the resumption of services.

At least the Scheduler errors have cleared up & the forums are responsive again.

Interesting that the "ready to send" for Astropulse keeps climbing and none appear to be going out.

The same thing happens on the Mac. Back when I had a Windows machine next to the Mac, connected to the same router, I'd watch the Windows machine receive work every five minutes while the Mac was told there wasn't any work available. After the Windows machine had a full cache, then there was magically work available for the Mac. I watched this dozens of times, to the point I was sure it wasn't a coincidence, and it hasn't changed one bit. Except, now I don't have a Windows machine, so, now I just sit and wait for hours after work flow has begun before I start receiving more than just a handful of tasks every 20 minutes or so. After the Windows machines are full, we Might start getting some serious downloads on our UNIX machines.

These two are still empty;

Linux system now out of all work, Windows system out of CPU work.

Oh, and the Validation backlog reaches another record high.
