Stanford have a a Raid problem with their servers. http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=14902
Unfortunately not for me, 2* Quad's and an i7 sat idle since the early hours of the morning even after numerous resets... Pings to the server come back OK so not a problem my side. Guess I'll have to be patient!
I don't appear to be able to get any work units, running SMP on an i7. Have tried restarting the client but still unable to get a work unit
Mine has been out since early morning and today too, but just this minute got one so back up and running
On the positive side, while the AS server has been down, I've managed to convert a number of my Linux boxes from Ubuntu 9.04 to 10.04 without loss
Glad to see there was an upside for you Doc, good to hear everything went well. On a positive note just reset all my clients and all 3 now have WU's. So happy days once again. FOLD ON!
Stanford keep gave me a dodgy A3 WU again when the severs came back up - Project: 6013 (Run 0, Clone 56, Gen 136). Its been reported as bad WU so hopefully no-one else will be assigned it again. It was taking over an hour to complete one frame. Binned. My other processor has been assigned another bad perfoming WU - P 6701. only netting 3K when it usually averages 4k PPD. I think it would do better on Linux though as with all the 'bigger' A3 WU's. Edit: its not P 6071 its P 6701 & it isn't a 'bigger' WU according to HFM. When I mean bigger I'm not talking about bigadv, I'm referring to the number of atoms but it still is taking 18-19 min per frame. Most of the frame times on A3 -smp projects are comparable to the old -smp A2.
@Tesla - I've run some of the bigger WU's - the -bigadv ones - and with Project 2684 it seems lots of people have been having stability issues and bad WU's - so I've lost a lot of work here as well. For the time being, I've switched back to the standard -smp WU's
