After all this I now get this message
12/15/2017 8:44:05 PM | LHC@home | [error] Error reported by file upload server: Server is out of disk space


What gives? multiple new upload servers and no disk space????
2) Message boards : ATLAS application : 2-core ATLAS tasks running with 1 core only (Message 32556)

Post:
all your ATLAS tasks today seem to have almost twice the CPU time versus runtime
That would be normal for two cpu's running on short jobs its not quite 2x
I think the startup times which can run to 10 minutes is only done with one CPU
and with that a significant part of these short tasks might make it look like its only using one cpu

since all the tasks are short except for a few the credits will be smaller than normal. after running a lot of long jobs and having credits normalized downward short jobs get shorted on credits.

Its called creditscrew over at SETI

I noticed that just before I stopped receiving jobs that I had an http error
which failed a task,

Then nothing after that forever.

Rather harsh wouldn't y0ou say?

Thank you for fixing it.

Just cross your fingers that creditnew (screw) keeps the larger credit value for
your ATLAS tasks.

It usually takes 11 validated tasks for creditnew to determine a baseline for your system, Since you switched from sixtrack to ATLAS with a bunch of invalidated sixtrack tasks it will be interesting to see what creditnew does.

from this point forward.
