Hey, I think the validator might be on the blink again. I have several workunits where ALL COPIES have been returned and marked "pending validation". Some have been sitting for awhile. Hopefully it's just the Monday blahs and it'll get fixed soon.

It was actually the transitioner which was down. It's running again now, and looks like the work is being transitioned properly.

We are now fully caught up. Something odd has been going on with the transitioner and the db_purge processes. They both keep deadlocking on the same workunit (they both shouldn't be trying to access the same workunit at the same time so this is odd).
They have actually stopped running several times over the past week, but we have some good monitoring in place now so we find out about it pretty quick (email notification are sent to various places). However, last night we just all happened to be sleeping when it happened. We hope to get this resolved in the next few days so that it won't have to generate those notifications. |

Maybe the FA@H scheduler needs a pipe-wrench job or is being worked over, but the message log shows failing for past 1/2 hour, whilst result files are still uploading as does new work from other projects continue to download.

Would i be able to throw the pipe wrench far enough to hit the Validators or whatever other Server Daemon from here?
---------------------------------------- Got 37 listed in Pending with quorum minimum complete for a wee while now of different project plumage.  Added: And just when i posted that, fear must have struck Daemon X, as things start flowing again.

There is a process that runs every six hours. This process takes care of some back-end accounting for workunits that have completed as well as runs the process which loads new work into BOINC grid. Part of this process stops the backend BOINC processes for between 10-30 minutes. Normally it is much closer to 10 minutes, but the researchers for the Dengue Fever project want to collect some detailed data about how long it takes to run 1 target through the grid. As a result, we are collecting much more data then normal. This is slowing down some of the backend processes. We will only be collecting that data for about one more week and then we will revert back to the normal amount of data. This is why if you go to your results page for BOINC you can see a lot more results then normal.
