I\'m currently running 2 models on a HT box and they both crashed on 13th June. The last backup I had was 3rd June, so I restored to that, removed all the pending trickles and zips, edited the xml to indicate that they\'d been uploaded (they had been on 10th, 11th & 12th June) and wrote off 10 days worth of crunch time.

Nothing unusual so far.

Since I didn\'t want to miss a trickle upload, I decided to just allow BOINC to upload any new trickles generated during the 10 day recovery period. The server is supposed to just ignore them and it is, since the trickle data for the results remains static at 12 June.

Problem is that the stats sites show my credit has increased at around the same time as these \"duplicate\" trickles are being uploaded. This is wrong.

I guess I could try and stop it by removing the trickles, but this whole issue is contra to my understanding of what\'s supposed to be happening, so I\'m a little nervous of doing that now and if there\'s a hole here, it needs plugging.

Help?

Hi,

Probably best to leave things to run - it wasn\'t necessary to edit the XML. You may have been seeing delayed credit appearing (the servers are lagging behind at the moment).
I'm a volunteer and my views are my own.
