The crash was so bad that the database could not be repaired. The first non-corrupted backup was 2 days old. Restoring from there seems to have worked but there are probably issues since it will be out of sync from results that get returned.

I pushed the deadline back another 4 days for any outstanding WUs to give people time to return them, but anything issued 2 days prior to the crash will not be in the database so I am not sure how that will play out.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I am pleased you got the system going again. You may or may not be aware of this. When I tried to get tasks I got the following information in my log:

I will wait for things to come fully back online before trying again. It looks like I had to 21 tasks and progress from the time that you took the database backup. I had returned these tasks before the crash If the server is able to resend these tasks to me before the deadline 30 Jan 2021, 19:41:28 UTC I will be more than happy to process them

I'm sure you are aware of this, but download of new work is failing instantly with a "Permanent HTTP error" message.

According to server status up/download servers should be up.

Hope you get the site in fully operational state soon :)

Edit: Oh I see Speedy51 posted while I was writing ...

And now old pre-crash wu's (9 Jan 2021, 7:34:35 UTC) have uploaded and validated. After several failed downloads, I'm downloading new work and attached a new host. There's still lots to fix up here, but the progress is swift so far. Well done!

So the "resent lost tasks" are those that you completed in that 2 day period just before the hard drive crash - since the database is now 2 days behind, it is unaware that you already returned it, so it's asking you to resend it. The good news is those result files were already assimilated and were recovered off the old drive, so the computation is not lost. The bad news is the credits are gone. The other bad news is the project thinks it still needs the data so it will try to send it back out to someone else. I think my best course of action will be to just delete all current WUs in the database and then regen those that are still needed. But I'm still thinking about it and hoping there is a better option...

Thanks for the feedback Eric. Happy decision-making :)

I got 40 valid UT on the 250 completed UT I sent back :D :D :D

(i'm still amazed that in this day and age, there was no RAID setup on this/any server )

Thank you for the recovery though, looking forward crunching more WU

Thank you for the update Eric.
I was wondering what had happened.

---

You'll notice a bunch of download errors. This is due to the WU not being present in the download directory because it was completed and deleted just before the crash; and the database is out of sync with this. I have set the "max_error_results" to 1 so the WU will be deleted after 1 download error, which should help push these out.

(i'm still amazed that in this day and age, there was no RAID setup on this/any server )

That's a good point. I'll have to look into it, but I know the math department's budget is limited.

Glad you are back but my sympathies to you over the nightmare you must be facing in picking up the pieces. Ian (NapierNimbus)

Another annoying thing to look out for... I noticed one of my hosts started using the 32bit version of the cpu app. I'm not sure why it's doing this, as the server has the "prefer_primary_platform" config option set. This is especially annoying since the 32bit version runs twice as slow.

Not sure yet how to get around this and resetting the project didn't help.

I figured this out. It was basically caused by too many of the download errors in a 24 hour period on that particular host. Most of the download probems should now be flushed from the system, so this should automatically correct within a day. If you want it corrected sooner let me know and I can fix it for your host. You know you have the problem if your 64bit cpu is running a version less than 4.00 (this only applies to cpu apps).

I understand.
A lot of servers have HW RAID built-in the drive controller, failing that, the server OS should be able to do software RAID (via a volume manager or something else).
Or there's plenty cheap 2nd hand RAID adapter on the market, but IT policies may prevent using non-approved HW :D

Nice, it seems to work here but i got WAY to many new tasks. I have got my new CPU and mainboard yesterday and sadly have to use a normal CPU cooler instead of water; so i cant run on full power 24/7 til i got a new kit. (they forgot to add the screws, they werent in the package).

It also didnt created an new ID for this PC somehow?

Update about this, after 10 minutes of working several cores reached Temperaturs of 100�C which forces me to stop running BOINC. I was only using 25% of cores. I should get the kit in a week, so i wont be able to finish within deadline.

Not any more. I no longer see any database or download errors. To my mind, this project has fully recovered from sudden death. Incredible!

Edit: Forgot to mention that email notifications aren't working.

I used software RAIDs for many years on my own computers and finally stopped because it seemed like a waste of money buying 2 drives when I never had a problem. But it probably makes more sense with a server doing tons of file I/O.

Yikes! I start to worry when mine goes above 80C. Doesn't the cpu automatically shut down or at least throttle itself when it gets that hot?

Forgot to mention that email notifications aren't working.

Come to think of it, you're right. I used to get email notifications on subscribed threads. I will have to look into this. They probably forgot to configure sendmail when they reinstalled the OS.
