Everything normal here as of now, Uploads, downloads, validation, no pending`s, Though from what you are saying here something else is not. There's certainly something not right, not only with Rosetta@Home but with RALPH@Home as well. On R@H, WU's are uploaded and reported but then just sit as "pending". This was working at some point yesterday. And on RALPH@Home, you can not upload any finished WUs sue t a "can not attach to shared memory" error on the server(s). Don't know how much resources Rosetta@Home and RALPH@Home are sharing, but it looks to me as if whatever they fixed yesterday isn't in fact working properly... Ralf The validator is probably working through a backlog of results after their downtime, hence the pending status of tasks. ID: 71495 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The validator is probably working through a backlog of results after their downtime, hence the pending status of tasks. That backlog would have existed earlier today as well and all the previously pending WUs had cleared out but now they just keep piling up again. If it is "just" a backlog, at least one or two of those should be validated once in a while. But none of them has in more than 12h... The silence of the sysadmins is really deafening... :-( Ralf ID: 71497 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Usually, they would not sit more than 5-10 minutes as pending, now I always have about a dozen that will sit for about a day before being validated...

Does anyone know what the issue is here or is this (just) another "it's weekend and no sysadmin is around" kind of typical R@H thing again? :-( Ralf It's slow but it isn't a problem.

Now, it is only slow, but that was not the case when I wrote my original message days ago, that you are (mis)quoting here. Ralf ID: 71511 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Last modified: 27 Oct 2011, 18:46:05 UTC I do not understand this scorn towards the collaborators of R@H that we are working of free form and with the expenses to our account. I do not understand as anybody with university education he can despise this way to whom they make possible an investigation that would take many years without our collaboration. I believe that they do not know the public relations and the benefits that reach port to the community. They have not deigned, as so many other times, to opening the mouth to give the most minimal explanation or to apologize. Nulla ethica sine aestethica ID: 71512 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Ralf Sorry, I meant to quote: Well, WU's are being validated, but at a snail's pace right now.

Ralf I understand that you were adding an update to your previous comment - I was pointing out to any outsiders who might be reading and might not understand the setup that the validator being slow isn't a technical problem.

In the compute errors thread it is stated that the bad work units have been removed from the server though a lot of them are already out here with us and crashing and doing other `interesting` things, It will take a little time to clear them and get back to normal.
