Well, that there is something wrong with the servers, that's kind of the obvious part.I think this may be more like about the fact nobody from the projects cares to inform his donors about the problem. But what has been missing from this project (for years!) is basic communication that those responsible for those servers is aware that there is something wrong with them and at least some basic info that they will be working on it. I am working as sysadmin myself, and I know that it isn't THAT hard to be kept up to date of server status and in particular issues that require attention. There are plenty of Open Source tools out there for things like this. It's about noon on Monday, by this time someone should have been able to take a look at it and post a message "Hey guys, we're on it, it just might take a while" instead of just remaining incommunicado...

I just noticed this. If any of you see issues with our servers etc, please feel free to email me directly at dekim at u dot washington dot edu. I sent a trouble ticket to our sys admins and am waiting for a response. It looks like a couple of our servers are unresponsive and is highly likely due to the power outage we had this weekend here in Seattle due to wind storms. The lab's FoldIt project has also been affected. |

The lab's FoldIt project has also been affected. One question I would have is how can any major university have IT systems without UPS capability and diesel or natural gas generators to keep the IT infrastructure resilient due to short term outages. Even if the outage was lengthy, they would be able to perform a soft shutdown to preserve all data and make the restart an easier task to complete once the mains are flowing. Am I off base with this? That infrastructure is not that expensive so should be in place to support computing capabilities. |

The lab's FoldIt project has also been affected. Now that the server status shows everything up and over a million tasks available for download, I am wondering why the only machine of mine that received new tasks since the servers came back online was one that I just installed BOINC on today. All my other machines have dozens of completed tasks from over the weekend waiting to upload. While I can understand that there may be a bottleneck for uploads and downloads, the fact that the machine I just started up today downloaded new tasks right away has me worried. Will the system accept all the tasks my systems did over the weekend while the servers were down, or did the system crash make all of my downloaded tasks worthless? Am I going to have to abort all of these tasks stuck in my queue as “Uploading” before any new tasks download? I have a lot of time invested in these tasks, so I do not want to abort them unless absolutely necessary. |

Dusty, I'd wait and give it some time. The servers should eventually take your results. I'm pretty sure it was a campus wide power outage we had and maybe the mail servers had issues also. It's odd that the email to me was bounced back otherwise. |

The lab's FoldIt project has also been affected. I'm not sure. They surely are backed up by a UPS or generator system. Only 2 out of 6 servers were unresponsive when I checked this morning. During the weekend storm, all seemed fine. So I'm not sure exactly what happened. And I'm not sure why/how the FoldIt site went down due to the storm. |

It's odd that the email to me was bounced back otherwise. Ok, thank you! I'll wait and won't abort the completed tasks. Thank you for the reply! As for the email getting kicked back, I sent it to dekim@u.washington.edu, which is I believe what you spelled out in your forum note. I was watching the server status all day yesterday. Four of eight rah_make_work servers showed "Not Running", in addition to the file_deleter and db_purge servers were "Not Running." |

It's odd that the email to me was bounced back otherwise. You were definitely more attentive than I! A couple of the webservers were not started up. I just did, so maybe that will get things moving. |

At the same time you were doing that, I started rebooting all my machines, and I watched as the "Uploading" status changed to "Ready to Report." Many thanks! |

Uploads are timing out again. Ditto and the Server Status page isn't working either. Downloads still coming down though. |

Two of our servers went down again. We are currently looking into it. Hold tight. |

Two of our servers went down again. We are currently looking into it. Hold tight. All server status shows disabled except for the data-driven web pages, yet my completed tasks are being successfully uploaded. However, I am not receiving credit for any of the uploads. Will I receive credit for them later? |

Well, server status shows all green but for "file deleter".Two of our servers went down again. We are currently looking into it. Hold tight. The account info shows updated stats but it looks like the stats XML files aren't generated as none of the external stats sites are showing any updates for now... Ralf |
