Looks like labstaff completed the restore. It should have been from 4am this morning.

Let us know if you're missing anything from before then.

Looks OK here -- thanks to you and the labstaff for the quick turnaround -- I've seen database crashes cripple a BOINC project for days. Well done.

That was a really quick recovery. And not as much lost as we all had feared I guess. ;-)))

Lovely greetings, Cori

The only thing I see is that on several stats sides old data is used for milkyway. Regarding boincstats my number of points for milkyway are now 5,109,606.

When I am looking to my tasks I see information of this afternoon and from 21th of may.

The same bahavior is to see in the signatures of the two other repleys. There is a bg differnce between the actual number of points and the number in the signature.

Well done on the prompt recovery, as a DBA I know the feeling when a database goes belly up.

I was fearing for the worst, but luckily labstaff was on top of their game today :)

Ahhh... so it's time for a beer now. At least on the European side of the pond... *grin*

Lovely greetings, Cori

um ... not everything OK, I hope it's just the BOINC cache or an index :

A bunch of tasks from earlier today have been marked "no longer usable" and exactly those are affected and my PC's task list was empty.

My user task list was _not_ empty, but if I opened the older tasks, the PC they are attached to is not mine, e.g. :

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/result.php?resultid=63855306

from my task list is attached to

http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/show_host_detail.php?hostid=73028

belonging to DrMASH

Tasks that I downloaded just now have the correct host entry.

new wus seem running ok.

had several crashed WUs in the ast 4 hours and the credits from the last day are lost pressing update.
Something still is very, very wrong here.

I believe I've lost 80000 in credit and 1700-1800 in RAC and, no, thihs is not all work done in 1 day. So, with the RAC limits, am I even going to be able to post this message?

Weak account key, not much risk.

People can join their computers to that key but not modify or even take over the account.

The weak one is thought to be used in public places.

p.s.: and how is he supposed to edit out the key if you quote it ;-)


oops, I see that he has posted the original one _and_ the weak one, sorry, now I feel a bit stupid :-/

just found out that i lost as well some 95000 points, impressive thats 2 month of work. Hopefully we get restored and some premium for suffering.

For the second time, I've lost quite a bit of credits due to Milkyway's system problems, (14,000+ first time, 10,000* this time.) I've detached the Milkyway project, and may look into it again in a year or two to see if it has stabilized. I have volunteered my computer time, but expect it to be used wisely and effectively.

Seem to have got lost credits back - BOINCstats update showed I had 105K credits, down about 44k, now back up to 149K which is about right

I re-ran the stats export so hopefully the webpages are updated with the credit values from after the restore.

Let me know if this has fixed anything.


PS. Ya'll are cranky this morning, no coffee yet?

Based on my experiences with other projects I didn't expect the restore to go nearly as quickly, let alone to be only a couple hours old backup. Truly I'm impressed by the speed of the MW team. The stats errors at the various stats sites is a minor inconvenience really and will be corrected when they update.

Ahhh... so it's time for a beer now. At least on the European side of the pond... *grin*

Luckily I'm also on this side of the pond, even if it's on the 'far' point of Africa! So cheers, Cori!

Oh yes, well done Milkyway, on a quick recovery!

FYI as of 3:00 pm cst I am still showing -35,468,886 on Boinc web stats and on free dc.. Maybe when they update it will correct its self......
