Also I'm not getting any new WU's. Might this be from the minor update they did today for linux? ID: 49156 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I am hoping the admin folks are actually aware of this -- having not seen any note of this on the home page as the 'time to repair' clock doesn't really start until the folks who need to take care of it are aware of the problem. (Correction -- tracing back on this thread, I see one of the project admins did comment, so the project folks are aware there is a problem). Rosetta has had a long run of stable operation and solid 'on time' response to issues. That seems to have fallen off a bit of late (say over the past month or so) for some reason. One example here is that the technical notes haven't had any updates in over two months and there have been some technical noteworthy events in the intervening time). I've joined 8 projects over the years. Two are no longer running (BBC Climate stopped issuing new work this past Spring, and Predictor has been essentially defunct since August). Of the remaining 6, Rosetta has been one of my best projects over the long haul. With the more recent issues, I've gone to my standard approach for projects -- that is, after an unannounced disconnect of several hours, I suspect the project in my various workstations. That shifts processing to 'live' projects and reduces the 'surge' effect of backlogged results being uploaded when a project wakes back up. The other aspect of this for me is depending on the project handling of a problem (do they update their home page to alert folks, does an admin jump in to ongoing problem reporting threads, is their any indication of the length of the outage), I either retain or reduct the resource share. My thinking there is that I typically don't tweak resource shares for my farm, but don't like major backlogs of results either. Since this problem showed up in the morning and it is now night time, I figure we'll not see it resolved until sometime tomorrow and perhaps later than that, this outage fits in the 'reduce share' category. That isn't that big a deal, I typically have three or more projects on each workstation, it just means that Rosetta's CPU share loss becomes a SETI, Climate, Einstein, Spinhenge or World Grid gain. That being said, I would like to see some form of information about the problems, their resolution, and perhaps a follow up regarding information updating for the hoi polloi.

Right, looks like someone needs to come into the lab and perhaps reboot that server. I've now got two projects offline in my collection -- Spinhenge went dead about 12 hours ago (they have zero connectivity - no home page, nothing). Rosetta and Spinhenge were just about my top two projects. I've suspended both and cpu cycles are getting diverted to Climate, Einstein, SETI and World Grid. the feeder server is offline see server status link in the top right of the home page Still down.

I'm having same problem as you guys but how do I set up Rosetta@home so it could keep sending me work in the meantime? Finally a question I can help with. BOINC's General Preferences allow you to define how much work you like to keep on your computer. If you had had a few days of work at the time of this failure, you would still be crunching happily today. Click the "Participants" link at the top of this message board and go in to your General Preferences. You can also change the setting for one specific machine by opening the BOINC Manager, going to preferences and clicking the Network Usage tab.
