Seti is down again
msattler:
OH YEAH!!!
Back in a big way with the new servers Oscar and Carolyn on duty.
Matt is playing with the settings getting things ramped up to full speed.
So far, so good.
Meowza!
Zeus Fab3r:
But the question remains, will these two beasties be sufficient for guys in the lab to drop the 3-day outages?

only time will tell ... personally i think the 3 day outage was their biggest mistake yet

I don't think it was a mistake........
Some folks have been hammering them for a long time to show and tell some real scientific results from the work we have all been donating for years.
And with the hardware they had to work with, along with the problems they were having just keeping daily opps going because of it, they simply needed to extend the downtime to have enough computer resources available to do some of the scientific work they wanted to accomplish.
I am hoping when the new servers are fully configured and tweaked, this may no longer be necessary.
Meow.

I would agree! I believe the three day outage caused too much server/network congestion and was causing work units to get lost and as a result the size of the database got out of had. This was probably made worse since they don't know what they are doing and can’t afford to hire a real engineer.
The servers which were replaced tested to be fine, they should configure them to run nitpicker 24/7.
I’m sure you all will come running to their defense and flame me, but this is what I believe. I've also reduced my cache to 5 days.
