Seti is down again

<< < (133/211) > >>

Josef W. Segur:
That planned Wednesday outage was supposed to last about 1.5 hours, this one is getting close to 3 hours. And although the downloads fell quickly they didn't just cut off so my guess is the download servers are also working but are idle because nobody can request work from the Scheduler. And the BOINC home page, etc. are working, so I think the hope this is a reschedule of the Wednesday outage is ruled out.

Jeff's an early riser, if it can be fixed by a remote kick I'd expect either someone will do so soon or Jeff will when he gets up. Then the first campus shuttle bus arrives at the lab before 8 am...

When I first looked this morning, every machine was backed up on uploads, so I assumed they were included in the general breakage. But the upload line on Cricket is normal, so I retried - and all uploads went through at the first attempt. Must have been a transient for that server, at least.

But the drop-off in downloads was much, much sharper than it was when the scheduler was switched off for Tuesday's maintenance, and I have two downloads stuck, not responding to retries. So I suspect some common factor has taken out the website, scheduler and download server - but it's server, not comms, related because of the uploads working.

Correction - the scheduler's OK, those uploads have just reported (though no new tasks - "no tasks available"). So it's just the website and downloads broken (plus an unknown amount of back-end, of course)

I've got 3 Astropulse resends since the outage started @ 08:41:46 and 08:46:57, but can't download, my reported work results increases my total credit,
Seti Beta uploads aren't going through eithier, althrough the scheduler is working there,

Richard Haselgrove:
And now I've got a MB task, scheduled but not downloaded. Just one, and likewise a resend. People were moaning about the splitters being off last night, and at one stage I saw, not only were the splitters red (ran out of tapes), but most of the back end was orange ('men at work'). Maybe they forget to clip something back on when they'd finished? (or only half clipped it, since it lasted until 8 pm before falling off ;D)
