Seti is down again
Gizbar:
Must be mad, I'm replying to myself :D
Finally got the home page up and the server status page, not that they mean much at the moment.
Just keep waitin' guys...
msattler:
Well......
At the end of their day today, the boyz will still waiting for some database recovery operations to complete.
Untill they do, a complete backup cannot be done. Hopefully the database finishes sorting overnight, and they can backup and restart tomorrow.
But, you know how things have been going lately.
Wish 'em luck, my friends.
Meow meow.
msattler:
Kinda funny side note........
Have shut down all but a few of the slower rigs that still have a bit of work to crunch.
Kinda cool and quiet in the crunching den.
One of my kitties, Tigger II, has been slowly pacing back and forth listening to some of the sounds the remaining rigs are making. Sounds which are covered up by the general din when everything is going full bore.
I always told you the kitties help me keep an eye on things........LOL.
Meow meow.
RottenMutt:
i doubt both servers (hardware) are bad and am glad they are starting to at the database. my estimated estimated up time is Friday, down time is Saturday; hope i'm wrong!
the Powers that be said they ran three or so loops of memtest, which i don't find as thorough as vistas memory checker. now don't get me wrong, if memtest finds a error it is a error; it just don't push as hard as vista's memory checker and vista's memory checker will find problems when memtest don't. how about running pi or something, the funny thing is i usually use seti to do my stability tests:P
Cosmic_Ocean:
They're using Linux distros.. not windows. That's why they can't use Vista's memory checker..or super pi and the like. Granted, they could probably use wine, but realistically, memtest does well enough.
However, as I just experience with one of my rigs two weeks ago.. running memtest was not able to diagnose a problem I was having. It would run memtest for hours and hours and be just fine, but as soon as you put a load on the CPU..instant power-off. Five bad caps along the side of the CPU socket. $4 ebay auction and a soldering iron and problem solved.
