Sorry, but if it doesn't happen by Monday I'm going to have to dump 3,670 tasks I have stuck as I need to do some work on my rigs. I was hoping to hit 100 years on MCM and get to 200 years on OpenPandemics and was exited to see that SCC was back but I've pretty much lost all confidence in WCG at this point and will likely just work on other projects.
----------------------------------------As an IT professional with over 25 years experience in R&D I must say that the transition from IBM to Krembil has been what can only be described as embarrassing.  AMD - 2600x, 2 x 2700, 2700x, 3900x, 3950x, 2 x 5900x, 5950x Intel - E3-1231v3, 9900K NVidia - GTX 1060 6GB, 1660ti, 1070ti; RTX 2060, 2060s, 2070a, 5 x 2070s |

All of us have work waiting to upload, it has been like that for a while. Threatening to dump all that work seems rather petulant.

And adds no value. Like the recovery at Krembil is going to proceed any more quickly in response?

The biggest problem right now is some people have no faith right now in Krembil do to all of the problems going on and a lot of them have went to crunch other projects or stopped alt together.Krembil has to work to regain the trust of the people or World Community Grid could be facing a slow death

I know how you feel
But as long as you have the disk space, keep those WCG WUs around. Once things are settled (whenever that will be) you will still get credit for them, and receive whatever new work the teams have prepared In the meantime, SIDock and Folding and Rosetta would welcome your processor power |

i found out - after I dumped mine - that if you simply suspend the project, other projects will pull work and compute WUs normally.

Sounds more like a cry for attention and recognition.
We all note your accomplishments and professional achievements. Let the people do their work. I’m sure they’re trying their best, working with what they have. They’re not doing this on purpose.. |

Question from a non techie, I shut my system down at night and fire it back up the next day and I don't lose any tasks. So if you were to shut down via activity - suspend, file - shut down client, exit, shouldn't you have the same as me, just start back up where you left off? As far as I know BOINC stores everything on your drive(s). So unless your going to erase the drive the data is on, can't you just shut down, due your work and reboot and start up BOINC again?
----------------------------------------It's a long process for them. I saw a post somewhere further back here that they had moved about 1.7TB of data and that was not everything. To me it sounds like end of the month or sometime next month before the system is fixed and running properly. It certainly will not be monday.

Wouldn't we all be pleasantly surprised if it was Monday ? You do not even need to suspend the present project if you wish to get tasks from another project and you have a large amount of pending uploads clogging the system. Simply change your cache setting in BOINC. In addition, if all BOINC is doing is sitting there periodically sending queries to the server, it is not using any appreciable amount of CPU power, just overhead. Therefore it does not interfere with anything else you may trying to do. It is just idling. Cheers

As far as I know BOINC stores everything on your drive(s). So unless your going to erase the drive the data is on, can't you just shut down, due your work and reboot and start up BOINC again? If you are referring with "you" as the folks at WCG, then you don't know about the differences of running a PC/home computer vs. running a (cluster of) server(s) with network attached storage. And that a good part of that current work on their end is transferring data from one (temporary) data storage to another (new) one...It's a long process for them. I saw a post somewhere further back here that they had moved about 1.7TB of data and that was not everything. To me it sounds like end of the month or sometime next month before the system is fixed and running properly. It certainly will not be monday. Certainly aren't not good a reading and doing math. Dr. Jurisica posted:on a quick update, finally, /science filesystem is on the move to the new storage from the recovery storage unit. As of last night, after 3 hours, the new storage /science filesystem shows 1.4TB used. Assuming such average rate of file transfer, it will take about 74 hours. Dr. Jurisica here clearly stated that after starting the data transfer from the temporary to a new permanent storage unit, he/they checked after 3 hours and it showed 1.4TB of data having transferred and at that transfer speed (approx 466GB/h), it would take 74 hours to transfer all of that science data, which would be a total of about 35TB in a little over 3 days And as he posted the above quoted statement shortly after midnight on Friday, March 24th, this would mean that the transfer should be finished in the (very) early morning hours of Monday, March 27th. That would be if the overall transfer speed is constant, which it rarely is... Btw, those 466GB/h would mean about 8GB/min or 13.5MB/sec, which would be slower as the typical transfer speed from a SATA drive to an external USB 3.0 hard drive.I just did that here at work (though only 60GB) and that happened at 40-60MB/sec, taking about 18min....
