The tasks ready to report still are waiting.

I'm not surprised things are not running at full speed, that is going to take some time. Seti@Home when it was active had weekly scheduled downtime for project/server maintenance, the recovery time was lengthy.

Thank you, Tom, for keeping us crunchers in the loop.

Thank you, Mr. Donlon, for the BOINC Manager push notification regarding the status of the project. It makes the "no WU to crunch" withdrawals easier to deal with as we wait for MW@Home to start sending out work again.

Hello Everyone,

We will be taking the server down at 1PM NY time to do a reboot and ensure that the replacement drive is rebuilding correctly. We plan on being out for a couple hours at most.

Best,
Tom

Regardless of the time zone referenced, thank you, Mr. Donlon, for letting us know what is going on behind the scene. The push notification in the Boinc Manager was a very nice gesture for letting us WU crunchers know hat is going on.

We just got the repaired drive back, and we're installing it shortly. We are waiting to see if the server starts rebuilding automatically, or if we need to schedule downtime.

While this is going on, I'm also trying to kick the DB and get things flowing again. Hopefully sometime soon we can have the server running normally again.

Mr. Donlon, the only inconvenience for me is having WU fetch going on and offline.

I know all we volunteers would like to at least have a bit of an status update notification from time to time, PLEASE! :)

Looks like the system is removing valid work units as the list of valid work units that i have completed went down from over 4000 units down to less then 2000 work units now.Still cant get any new work units or upload completed work units for most of today


The feeder program isn't running, along with a number of the other server programs, no work in going out or coming in. MW@H is offline as far as crunching work is concerned.

Look at the server status on the Project status page, most of the programs running MW@H are not running.

There's plenty of tasks ready to send according to the project status, if the server programs were up and running.

Thank you for keeping us "in the loop."

It is frustrating to have the project's servers down, more so when we crunchers don't know what is happening.

Not just yes for a GPU app for N-Body, but HELL YES!.

Faster, slower, same time, is no big deal for me.

Thank you for keeping us "in the loop" about the situation. It is a minor annoyance when we know about it.
