Server status page shows more than 22,000 "Ready to send" so what's up with this?

didn't you see all the other posts on this topic?
or did you not read the home page?

system is down due to SAN server crash.
they are trying to put the system back together with some different components and then transfer over 10 MILLION files and then try to get the system back into synch before the crash so the tasks sitting on your computer get processed properly.

I'm not talking about tasks sitting on my computer. If you don't have anything useful to add other than bashing me, please don't reply.

Sorry, quick read, missed whats going on.
If the system is back up, which there has been no official word to that effect yet, there could still be problems in the system.
I just ran an update on Rosetta and got the same message.
But just give it time to get settled and send tasks to everyone and then maybe we will get tasks.

In the past when there has been a nasty failure of something in the system it will take days to get back to normal.

I got four tasks, one at a time, starting early yesterday even before the announcement on the home page. Each of them completed, uploaded and reported normally.

That changed today. I am now not getting any new tasks.

You can assume that this problem is related to the recent system failures, but I'm going to try to let the managers know when there is what might be a new problem. They have been most appreciative of my letting them know about such problems in the past, and that's what I'm doing now.

Mod posted in another thread that new work is up. But it looks like the scheduler might be overloaded from all the no new tasks messages.
Like I said give it a few days to get out from under all the requests bombarding it for new work then it will get settled back into its regular routine.

1. I know there is new work up. If there wasn't I wouldn't have started this thread. There is work, I'm not getting any. The project managers need to know such information.

2. I did not start this thread because I needed assurance. I started it because I wanted to help.

3. Please stop claiming superior knowledge. You don't know whether "the scheduler might be overloaded from all the no new tasks messages." The project managers can read my post and decide if this is the case.

Same here. Tried to set my stash to 20 days and decrease the runtime but still to no avail. Now I've set the few I got to 1 day just in case. How does one contact the managers? They don't seem to read these forums.

I've also had a problem with the merge function wiping my computer credit instead of merging it. Now it looks like my computer did almost nothing while it actually did all the work. I also got the standard "Didn't you see..." response. Nobody seems to realise these are additional problems and not solely because of the crash. They may be related but they will not magically disappear once everything is restored.

Backups are meant for one thing alone - DATA. All programs and settings should be restored by clean installs. I can't say for sure this was not done but I have a sneaky suspicion the backups restored "functionality" it shouldn't have restored.

Getting work now. Time to stop posting to this thread.

No, it's still skipping regularly here with server saying "No work from project" or just not sending any tasks. When it does not do that most of the time it says "(won't finish in time) Computer on 4.2% of time, BOINC on 99.4% of that, this project gets 100.0% of that".

The 4.2% started at 3% this morning. I don't understand it. Due to my previous problem it created a new "computer" and it's been on and running for about 12 hours a day since then. I can do at least 12 times what it's willing to give me.

I've even set my workunit runtime to 1 hour and it still says that. They still run for 6 hours even after clicking update so the server seems to ingore that setting or doesn't send it to my client.

The runtime preference is not a hard-and-fast end time. Each task must complete at least one model before it is ended. Some types of tasks take several hours for a single model.

BOINC will take a day or two to learn your machine is running 50% of most days and that tasks now take much less time (on average) to complete. Then it should be able to maintain a buffer of work close to your preferences.

I had the same issue along with a disk space problem.
Solved the disk space problem, but not sure if the resetting the project helped with the no work messages I was getting.
