No idea why but it doesn't look like it's a problem at his end. Was it the first hint of issues on the fileserver? Anyone else see this with their uploads? I didn't and neither did other team-mates. Can these WUs be re-checked? Edit: Oops! User is itnumberpi ID: 69026 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Hey Sid - how much run time did he have on these failed tasks? I had a few tasks fail shortly before the outage and I think that they ended up with validation errors - but since they only ran for 10 15 seconds each it was clear that they were sour tasks from the start CH ID: 69027 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm not in contact with the guy to know more - he's a friend of a friend. ID: 69028 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Take a look at your last results on these 3 machines. Same thing. https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?hostid=1312275 https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?hostid=1346087 https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/results.php?hostid=1277775 No idea why it happens on those and not on your other ones... Also, see KEL's message on the Rosetta front page. That's one guy who's not going to have a good night... ID: 69030 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

This is probably why there is currently no validation being done, it would be doing more harm then good to the databases. Some validation issues prior to the crash may have been precursors to the final failure that occurred. Rosetta Moderator: Mod.Sense ID: 69044 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
