BTW, server has been back up since Sat May 21 20:25:10 PDT 2011 - I was on the next to last queue item before it wrapped around - so I never saw the skipping of the occupied WU.

Posted: **Mon May 23, 2011 4:56 pm**

Hi,

I have a WU thts been stuck trying to upload for about 48 hours now. I was told to post here by more experienced folders. I'm running just my processor in SMP2 using the V7 client. I do not have the full log, as I re-booted my system to see it if would help, which it didn't.

Many Thanks,
Nico

Welcome to foldingforum.org, NicoPalm

First of all, ignore the messages about 171.67.108.25. There are known issues with that server.

Second, notice that each time the client tries to upload the WU it tries four times ... once or twice to another server then twice to 171.67.108.25. It's the other server that we need to pay attention to. In your case, we need to focus on 171.64.65.54. Those uploads are failing, too, but eventually they'll be the one that's successful. I'll change the title of the topic to reflect that fact.

The server log shows that the server had some problems during the night (California time) but I don't see any problems right not. Has your WU finally uploaded?

Posted: **Wed May 25, 2011 2:19 am**

looks like the server is down once again , came home to all 3 of my 580's were stuck trying to upload

Are you getting new WUs from another server?

just started the clients back up and grabbed some 900 pointers on all 3 cards , so hopefully all goes well during the night

Back down again. I noticed it about 30 minutes ago (5/29 at 0406 GMT). One of the p6801 WUs waiting for upload. one of the 925 point Project: 10952 (Run 2, Clone 71, Gen 23) WUs was assigned after several failed attempts to get a new WU. Nvidia GPU WUs.

Server stats show it's been rejecting since the report Mon Jun 20 17:35:10 PDT 2011 continuing through the latest report (Mon Jun 20 19:55:10 PDT 2011).

For myself, if first affected me at Mon Jun 20 17:59:00 PDT 2011, but it recovered quickly - it got assigned a WU from 171.67.108.32.

at 20:08, it must have been back up, because the pending WUs got uploaded, and I'm now processing a new download from 171.64.65.64.

Posted: **Tue Jun 21, 2011 4:49 am**

yea it's back up

when it goes down like that FAH tracker gets stuck trying to upload and cannot go on (stuck in a loop)
then no work gets done..can't progress on until it clears it

it requires that I stop the GPU client in the tracker and restart it..it then procedes to get a new WU
it stores the WU until the next time and if it's down then I have 2 WU that are in the queue and I have to do it again...until the server is up
annoying at best

I wish Jedi would fix this issue with FAH gpu tracker v2

Posted: **Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:25 am**

It's not too likely that the 3rd party developers will be doing much with software written for V6. The V7 client is in open beta and it's a total rewrite. Most of the methods used to support V6 will no longer work in V7 (without a total rewrite). You will have to talk to the developer, himself, though.

Posted: **Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:42 am**

Since you locked my previous post before I could post more examples ...... have a look where this one stops at 9:57 with
[09:57:14] + Attempting to send results [June 20 09:57:14 UTC]
[09:57:14] Gpu type=3 species=30.
And the next thing it shows is this
[12:34:56] + Could not connect to Work Server (results)
Which is roughly two and a half hours that the gpu 3 client has remained idle, neither trying to send in the finished wu nor trying to download a new wu.
So please do not tell me, "but you chopped off the log before the important part". That was where it stopped. Since it was going to be idle for a few hours, I restarted the client.

I believe this is a client code error, not a server error (as you suggested). Remaining idle for two and a half hours doesn't sound normal. I hope you will bring this situation to the attention of the Panda Group organization programmers.

Did you even read the post that locked the thread? It actually gave you a link to where you could post further comments rather than just start a new thread. The point was to keep related posts together rather than have a whole bunch of related but independent threads. By not posting where he instructed, all you've done is just produce another thread that will be locked when Bruce gets to it ...

Thanks for the reply P5-133XL .
It's too bad that I read the original response before it was edited and the link was added.
The post is about the clients actions, not a down server.

The cpu and gpu clients will normally keep trying to send in work units at slowly increasing time intervals.

In my case, that's not happening. It happens to try sending the wu a couple of times and then sits idle for a couple of hours.
It doesn't retry sending in the wu at slowly increasing intervals.
I thought this was a problem the Pande Group might like to be made aware of.

So, lock it, delete it, do whatever you want, I did my part in trying to point out a glitch in the gpu3 code.
