F@H : Loads of WUs but no points?

[Strongbow]

I've been checking my stats throughout the day today and it looks like my wheels are spinning but I'm not going forward. I've somehow gained loads of WUs but no points, checked all my systems and they're chugging along as per usual so I'm wondering what's up?

Any ideas?

I checked Boinc Synergy Stats page and then Folding At Home Server Status page which does not exist. Seems something is afowl, looks like the project may be offline. Seems even the forum is offline too. uh oh !

Error Will Robinson Error :!:

Look at the top of their forum. "Heat Issues" are always to blame.

Strange that it only seems to have affected my stats :roll:

I've gained over 300WUs so far today! ...pity the points aren't coming in that fast! :roll:

[Brucifer]

how in the heck can you gain 300 workunits? I don't use the queue switches, and I only have one work unit per system.. even my windows boxes, except for the dual core stuff that only have one per cpu.

Check your logs and see what they say, cause something sure isn't right. I've been getting a lot of the 2 to 4 day workunits, so there isn't really a very high volume of wu turnover. I do know that I turned one in last night, and the points for it counted, according to the fah stats site. So from where I'm sitting things seem to be normal.

edit: but then after checking the url above I guess they have heat issues but you couldn't tell it from my stuff. ???? All I am running for command switches is -verbosity 7 -local and none of hthe fancy stuff. I just run the regular work units that have time limits and no advanced method stuff.

[Strongbow]

I haven't got any of those fancy flags either! In fact all mine are running just with the standard config.

Checked all my logs and they have been chugging along doing their things, none of them have reported completed jobs during the mad WU increase - not even my Mac which started it's 1st project 8days ago and isn't even halfway yet

It does seem to have stopped increasing now!

I'll keep my eye on these lot as they can be a bit cheeky now and again just in case it was one of them! :D

[Strongbow]

It's started again? :?

If it's not one of the F@H servers at fault then one of my systems is having a laugh!

[Brucifer]

Realistically it's probably going to keep going on for the rest of the month as it's a heat issue. So sh*t works in the evenings and doesn't during the day. At least the output and input are split so that we can still get work units during the day.

How-some-ever, in looking at my stuff, I'm still getting wu's uploaded and the credit is showing up.

[Strongbow]

I've been chatting with Bruce, sysadmin at F@H, and he says it's coming from my side! However, he found that it is actually coming from a different IP address to the rest of my farm!?! ...so it looks like someone may have wrongly borged a system on my behalf! ...pity it's not working! :roll:

i'll just have to live with it! ...I'll probably be the World #1 for F@H 'point-less' WUs completed within the next couple of weeks!

[Brucifer]

That sounds reasonable. Sorta couldn't figure out really why you were naving issues there and others were getting the wu's uploaded and gathering points. Would be nice though if you knew where the errant system was so it wouldn't keep messing up the f@h server.
