The people here deserve a big hand, because this happened over a US Holiday weekend. US Thanksgiving was Thursday, and the schools, etc. all have a 4 day weekend during this.
Thank you Dr. Allen, Bernd, et al.

160 days without failure...

160 days without failure... and when it finally came, it came at the absolute worst time. The E@H team deserves some major appreciation for working this over the holiday for us all.
... and Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Thank you for your kind comments.
The file server crashed hard with no previous signs of problems, on Thansgiving evening around 10pm. At that time, David Hammer and Kevin Flasch spent a number of hours trying to get our spare file server working but the bug was apparently related an OS/software issue and the spare machine exhibited the same problem.
I only learned about the problems around 5am local time the following morning. David and I did some further work the following morning and then needed to wait a few hours for a file system consistency check to complete.
I wish it hadn't taken so long, but I am glad that we are 'back on the air' again.

I just want to add my thanks

I just want to add my thanks for being informed as to what was happening. The communication within this project is one of its finest attributes. And the speedy recovery was also a plus!
This temporary failure also

This temporary failure also shows how great BOINC is as a program. When Einstein went off the air my computers kept themselves busy with Rosetta without me even noticing!

Humm... I noticed that at least two of my three hosts which were active at the outage reached the dreaded 168 hour back off point well before the end of the outage.
If this was common among people with moderate Einstein work queues, and if folks don't spot it and force update by hand, then there may be a pretty big drop off in Einstein work for the next few days--especially since this hit during a holiday.
None of which diminishes my gratitude for and appreciation of the Einstein project folks. The hope for useful science, the generally smooth running of the project, and the helpful and respectful communication with the crunchers are a potent set of incentives keeping most of my resources here.
