Posted 16 May 2022 by Greger Post: I agree with frankhagen. This happens over and over each year and people get tired of these events, I hold 9339 task right now and 50 of them is trying to download the rest of them trying to upload. I project need to stresstest servers it would be great it was done outside production. I doubt that these short spikes gains cover what they lose in long run that people move to another project or even stop using boinc at end. Some would care or be able reach forum to get this info so they step out. This project have long deadline so it will get sorted out after this mess but some project have very short deadline. Solutions admins would take would only help temporarily like add more servers increase bandwidth, increase batches or dataset to units. In the end they fall back to normal when event is done as demand is not needed and waste of space or cost for hardware or service would be to high. For those who like these events you can try Archive Team or similar project that you can better use of host then hammer servers at boinc projects. |

Posted 16 Apr 2018 by Greger Post: Fully normal validate or waiting for your wingman to send back task to workunit. First then it start to validate your task. If you check on workunit it is replication 2 and minimum quorum 2. If you find a workunit that are completed you could link that but if it would be pending validation as 2 task needs to be completed without error. As there is a deadline of 15 days it could take up to this time until it got canceled and resend to another wingman. Validator could be set on hold if project admins need free up process to be able to generate big batch of work. This could take a few minus up to an hour and server status page would not pick up this fast enough as page update on specific times and would not be real time. Work units would not get lost on server, work unit stay on server and it only send a copy of unit and and be send as a task to host. It would require hardware failure to lose data. |
