Hi! Running your files have created a bunch of hadam3p_eu_xxxx...zip files. These apparently won't upload. They've been sitting in "Transfers" for days, a few saying "100 %" and "Upload: pending (project backoff.." most saying "0 %" Upload: pending ... ". "Retry now" has no apparent effect.

Same in "Tasks" finished runs just sitting there saying "100 %" and "Uploading" but nothing is happening.

Running BOINC 7.0.28 (64x) on win 64.

Server down? Line down?

Server is full.
We're waiting for the working week to start in the UK. :)

Hi!

Errrmmm... server full...? That would do it, I guess. How... Why don't... oh, never mind. :)

We're too productive for them!

Thanks!

I've got the same problem (4 zip files waiting at the moment). Any idea how long the server will be down for?

Even moving terabytes shouldn't take days...

On one occasion recently when stuff had to be moved it was a couple of Terabytes.

The speed all depends on the speed of the network. if 100MB/second=6GB/min=360GB/hour=8.64GB/day. My guess is that 100MB/s is optimistic even if the data isn't being verified. Add on verification and I don't know how much time it adds.

Wait and see.

And this thread should have been in Number Crunching, not the Science section, as it's nothing to do with the science of climate modelling.

Sorry Les. :-)

My bad. Sorry. Haven't posted here before and was unclear on the areas. Will try to do right in the future :)

It turns out to be terabytes, not gigabytes. And it's live data, to which researchers have access for running data extraction queries. So care has to be taken in moving it.

Because some of the download files are also on that server, they've had to re-enable access to it, and not all of the terabytes of upload data have been moved.

Expect things to be slow, and for the server to quickly re-fill.

All this talk of cumbersome moving of files makes one ponder the marvels of server area networks and clustered solutions.

All it requires is a huge budget, for hardware, for staff ...

Well yes. There is always that.

The opposite strategy would be shutting down the server, plug a cheap drive into a physical port, copy the files, have someone physically run it over to wherever it should go and call and say whether it went allright. Then delete the originals. In my darker moments I wistfully wonder which is really the most efficient and safe.

If against all odds it hadn't already occurred to you, I'm neither complaining nor being very serious. Not my intent to po anyone. Please feel free to ignore, terminate, delete or move this thread as you see fit. :)

Have a good one. Time for bed on my end.

More than a GBs worth of upload files have magically disappeared from my transfer tab in BOINC. All good things to those who wait :)

---

Do we have a problem again? I have had a bunch of files waiting for nearly two weeks now.
