1) Message boards : Number crunching : Work Units still pending? (Message 13668)

Here are two more are still living in the database:

http://lhcathome.cern.ch/result.php?resultid=3407702 since 4 Oct 2005
http://lhcathome.cern.ch/result.php?resultid=5686836 since 31 Jan 2006

When time passed by, they became good friends of mine. Every time I had a look for results, they were there. Even in the time of drought, when no workunits were available, they stay aside.
So please, don't kill them! Keep my old friends alive ;-)

Happy crunching
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Pending Credit. Others granted (Message 11716)

It seems to be a well known database problem:
If a result is returned just when the others were granted, the result will never get credits automatically.

process 1: start validation and granting credits
process 2: receive result from client
process 2: stores it in the DB as pendig
process 1: stores granted credits in the DB and might override a state or timestamp

It looks like a locking problem to me ...

By the way, if someone would cleanup the DB manually, there is another pending result here: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/workunit.php?wuid=658138

Have a nice Xmas

And another WU with ever pending credit 658138: 3 were granted, one is pending since weeks. Could someone fix it, before the unit is dropped or hanging forever?

Thanks
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Host corruption solved? (Message 11040)

Very powerfull host 62217?

LHC@home - 2005-10-26 15:21:54 - Message from server: No work sent (reached daily quota of 200 results)

Wow, I never thought, that this host can do so many WUs a day ;-)
.. or is there something wrong with the scheduler?

Greeting!

Hey, all entries are back and look good! Thanks!

another corrupted host: 44537

Last contact at 02:11 UTC for returning one result. The result seems to be allright, only the system information of the host is a little damaged.

But... is it a problem? It seems to me that the data will be fixed with the next connection automatically, like it happend when you made a system update on your host.

A bit more nasty: the quota droped to 0 WU per day.
