Last I heard was the Gravity wave tasks are available right now and the rest hopefully by tomorrow.


Thanks for pointing this out. My laptop had completely run out of work. I had only allowed GRP4 on it. Just now I enabled S6Bucket Follow-up #1 for the location I assign that machine to, and the work request was promptly fulfilled. Considering the slow pace of other things in the last few days, the required downloads (a full set of files, since this host had not been running Gravity Wave) came at a nice high speed. (transfer page indicated individual file download rates in the 500 to 2000 kbps range).

Again, we'll update you guys here as soon as we have more news - as we've done so far. Just be patient.

Thanks,

A patient cruncher is as rare as a hairy frog, Oliver. ;)
All my wu's have uploaded now and I suspended the project until the project admin's say they have new work available. Thanks to all of you for your prompt attention to this outage and for your constant updates as to the status of recovery!
Cheers, Dataman.

I wouldn't say they're that rare. It's just that for some people, the word patient has no meaning. Their brains just ignore it as if it was never written.

Did I miss something? As far as I can tell, new work is available. I see no reason to suspend anything.

So, reseating the video card

So, reseating the video card got my vintage Dell Precision 670 to boot up. So, I've now successfully uploaded everything from it.

Now, to figure out how to make the old Hewlett-Packard boot, so that I can get everything from it uploaded.

RE: You may certainly ask

You may certainly ask but please respect that our priorities are focusing on project management/maintenance right now, and probably for the foreseeable future as well :-) Apart from that we already gave a number of technical details. In the end it's just a reformatting of the main filesystem (as outlined above) and the use of a different temp. upload server.
Oliver


Yes. We do understand, that there is no much time right now, but we kindly ask to do this in future, when everything become a history. And thank you guys for informing us these days, even when you have no time. It certainly helps us to feel involved in project. I don't know any project with such a useful feedback.
BTW, will you use new format options mentioned by Highlander? And if yes does it require to recompile server's kernel?

They now of this options already themselves. I have the fear that they must install a new kernel, it is more unlikly, that a cluster runs on upstream and 3.16 is only about 3/4 year old.
Ok, normaly this change should work in 99,9 percent of all cases, but i feel like i'm getting this 0,01 percent ... -> had always some problems with it, how big or small they were, none was seamless :-(
-> i'm not that big linux freak, but i read a lot, play with raspberry pi, tomorrow arrives new plaything odroid c1, theres development on all fronts to follow :-)

yes and yes. We did already for the replacement server, and we will also for re-installation of the original upload server after all its data has been backed up.

It is very interesting to see if it will go faster then before under full load at almost full disk.
