Again, we are sorry for the issues with uploading to our servers. We are still working at getting this sorted out.
Thanks for your patience, -Uplinger |

Thanks for your patience, -Uplinger You've had a VERY long day after doing the maintenance the night before. Thanks for all the hard work and make sure you get to take Friday as a comp day so you can enjoy a three-day weekend. With uploads enabled (for now at least), know we're hoping the upload server deals with the flood! You've had enough of this.  Would having the SFS folks add more space help any? Do we have just the one upload server? Would having a second (or another) one (even though it's probably virtual) with its own disk space offer options for allocating projects to each and spread the load on the disk? |

keithhenry,
Thank you for your kind words. What I'm seeing is that there is a bottle neck with mcm1 assimilation. I am trying to speed things up with that. I have been able to clear 10% of the backlog on it in the past few hours, so I'm hoping a few more hours will allow the backlog to clear out a bit more. Adding more space would just be a temporary fix, but we are working towards a permanent one. I have however wrote a script that will disable uploads automatically when storage gets within 25GB of being full. This will happen automatically throughout the night. The reason I have it set to 25GB is that new work getting loaded and indexed goes into the same storage, I need that space to make sure work keeps flowing and members can still download work. It is set to allow uploads when it gets above 50GB of space, so there will be periods of no uploads, then uploads.... I will be running more tests in the morning to see if I can optimize the assimilation even more, but at this point, I would like to see if the changes I have made will catch up on the backlog. Thanks, -Uplinger |

I'd like to add my thanks to Keith too. It's been a very long weekend for you and you've done a great job of trying to keep everything flowing. I hope you get some down-time to compensate.

Sorry, I was hopeful that the file system would stay below a certain level while I got some rest. My hopes did not come through for me. The root cause is that MCM1 has files that are larger than average being returned right now. This has caused the file system to fill up. There were some cleanup I could do after the maintenance outage, unfortunately that was only a temporary fix. I have take a few other steps on the backend to potentially free up some space as well. Thanks, -Uplinger I have an old 6.4 gig WD HD I can send if that will help.. Heck, maybe even a 40 gig!  |

boinc says upload pending project backoff Go to Transfer tab and hit retry I just tried that and the uploads failed again. The log file says maintenance underway on the server. |

Thanks, -Uplinger An idea to consider: Can you set a disk space limit at which mcm1 uploads and downloads are blocked, and a higher limit at which all uploads and downloads are blocked? |

Robert,
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately we can not do something that blocks uploads on an application basis. -Uplinger |
