Hope this will answer some of your messages.
We still have some 34,000 WUs NOT being taken. We have apparently
almost 6000 in progress.
We introduced SixTrack Version 4.5.03 on Wednesday 22nd
January after extensive testing on boinctest and at CERN.
Unluckily Yuri flooded us with work at the same time
and AFS blew up leading to a huge backlog of over 16,000
results to be downloaded.
1. Results Validation;seems to be OK. I summarise that,
countimg from 0-59 we do NOT CHECK Words 51, 59? and 60
in fort.10.
The validator log shows many many "cannot open" supposedly
existing results for comparison. They were probably lost
somehow.
2. Assimilation; the log shows
"Herror too many total results" !!!
There are about 2000 (1979) unique messages and cases/WUs.
I suspect we may nedd to clean the database and remove results
(with clients losing credit I am afraid, but they will probably never
get credit for these anyway).
I could delete them from upload but that would probably be worse.
3. Scheduler log: there are about 2.4 million messages of which
there are 1.64M unrecognised messages, multiple messages per WU.
This is perhaps significant!
previously these messages existed only for Macs as far as I can see.
I am not an expert but it seems to me it might explain work not being taken.......
(but never saw this with boinctest!).
Other issue; one client reports "Cannot Create Process" mon Windows 7.
May or may not be significant.
Are executables 'signed" OK?
So all a bit complicated but hope to sort it (very) soon.
Eric.
