Re: Validated but not purged

As of 02:00 (UTC) on 2023-11-11 I have 515 tasks newly marked as assimilated and files deleted (out of 3821 currently marked as Valid) -- they should disappear within the next 24 to 48 hours. That's progress!

So far, it has managed to assimilate all the stalled results I returned between 14th and 21st October, and most of the results I returned on 22nd. I expect to see progress on more recent results when I check again tomorrow (as well as a decrease in Valid tasks still visible!)...

It would be interesting to know what changed in the last couple of days to free the blockage (hint, hint) :-)

Cheers - Al.

Re: Validated but not purged

Nothing has changed here. Not a single one of my valid MCM1 tasks has been purged.

I can not tell if anything has changed, but if it has it has not been much. I still have over 8000 valid with the oldest still having been returned Oct. 14. If I have thta many I wonder how many the people with the big rigs have out there.

Cheers

Re: Validated but not purged

Finally the purging have begun for my MCM1 tasks. They're disappearing pretty fast now.

Re: Validated but not purged

My results have been reduced by at least 600 in the last 6 hours.

Re: Validated but not purged

It's not going fast, but so far I'm down about 70.

Re: Validated but not purged

I think the purging stopped again. In my case everything up to October 23 was purged, and then it seems to have stopped.

Re: Validated but not purged

I think the purging stopped again. In my case everything up to October 23 was purged, and then it seems to have stopped.
In my case, I can see that assimilation seems to have stopped (again) -- all previous candidates for purging[*1] (i.e. results assimilated and files deleted) have now gone[*2]! If that's true for all users there's nothing ready to purge at present :-(

Now, without access to the part of a "server status" page that shows which BOINC processes are running, all people (myself included) can do is speculate on what is happening :-). There are two "obvious" possibilities here:

  • The MCM1 assimilator has crashed
  • Something is stopping assimilation of work for most/all workunits so the assimilator does very little on a single pass (or reports "nothing done")
In the latter case I suspect that when it next runs it will see the same 1000 WUs that it couldn't deal with the time before. Rinse and repeat...

This leaves the question -- what happened on or around 24th October that might be causing this situation?

Cheers - Al.

*1 Assimilation, file deletion and purging are three distinct BOINC processes. It isn't until the first two of those have happened that the 1 or 2 day countdown to final removal starts...

*2 In my case, there are now no results validated before 24th that are still waiting.
