DistRTgen: BOINC is up and running again

[RSS]

I'm happy to announce that we are finally up and running again at full speed! To those of you whom might not now, we had issues with our brand new server. We were suffering from performance degradation and frequent spontaneous reboots. Now we have migrated to a temporary loaner server while our original server is being tested to find the cause of the issues. Previously it were running NetBSD 6.0 with LVM to manage the space, but we think it's what's causing the problems and so the server will be reinstalled with NetBSD 5.1 without LVM after the testing phase has completed, to keep things simple. Until then, we hope you will help us test our temporary loaner server. Let's see how much it can take before going down Let the crunching begin!

OH yeah baby! I'm on this.

I'm gonna stay off it until I see the Wu's Validating, I picked up a few over night & every one of them were marked Invalid ...

[spingadus]

So far I've completed 3 valid tasks. No errors so far.

[STE\/E]

I think I know why mine are being marked Invalid, it could be because I have Client 7.0.11 Installed on all my Box's now. So I've screwed myself unless I go back to 6.12.34 or something like that. In order to go back I'll lose a Ton of Wu's in progress, so the moral is sometimes it's best to just leave things alone in BOINC instead of trying to do better in a Challenge, I don't have the time or the motivation to go back in Clients right now, it's all just too frustrating some times ...

Well, I have 2 systems on it.

My Win7 64bit PC with an ATI card and BOINC 6.13.6 is not validating. (No ATI tasks I can see, all CPU.)
My Ubuntu Linux 11-04 64 bit with an nVidia card and BOINC 6.12.32 is validating everything. (Both GPU and CPU.)

I've got just 3 Box's on it & all Validating, 2 that I reverted back to 6.12.34 & a Linux Box with Ubuntu on it, I'm going to wait for now & see if they Upgrade the Server to accept work form the 7.0.xx Clients ...

If I'm not mistaken upgrading the server software will put that project under the "CreditNew" system. OH joy..........

[Bryan]

I had to downgrade 3 of my machines that have ATI and Cudas in them to get them to validate. I do have 1 machine with 2 GTX 570s that is working without any problems running 7.0.11. Go figure.

That's nothing a few lines of code doesn't fix. After the server goes through all the CreditNew shananigans, and then right before it writes the CreditNew value to the database, you just interject your own value.
