It will take some time to complete the updated process. See http://folding.typepad.com/ which says

The stats updating was put on hold until we can make sure everything looked ok. We've turned it back on. Please note that there is no stats loss while we turn off updates.

Ya but will there be loss for those we turned in while the servers where down?
I'm missing points from 12/10/11 right up till just before midnight yesterday 12/13/11.

I turn in on avg. 100k+ per day. Was 300k to 400k but I cut way back.
500 & 600 dollar power bills were killing me.

Just to reiterate the request for an update on the backlog of missing points.

Yes, the stats server seems to be up and running since last night and points for new WUs seem to be showing up. However, the 100s of thousands of points from the period when the server was down are still MIA.

I haven't even seen this acknowledged as an issue, nevermind an indication of outcome or timescale.

this is the good news we were waiting for: http://folding.typepad.com/news/2011/12 ... e-now.html I'm going to verify just in a moment..

All depends on the definition of "shortly"

mmm.. for me and for my team no news and no updates.. still have to wait..

Probably the same as "soon"

Seems like newer submitted WUs are getting processed ahead of the older ones. Anyone know it that is the case?

That's pretty much standard.
Give the backlog a couples of days to catch up stats-wise ......

It's true for me. After the announcement that stats were back up, I received proper credit for all newly completed work units. But I haven't received any points at all for the 24 work units and 122,000+ points that were submitted during the past 3 days.

For PG "soon" can mean anything from hours to never.

I as well am missing about 90,000 -100,000 points myself and only seeing credits for newly completed WU's.

I would like to ask for a question that maybe could seems OT.. How do you take note of the points that still have to be assigned (in general and in this particular situation): by adding finished scores to a personal text file? or how?

thanks..

Statistics have not been lost. Its reconstruction was simply postponed.
The data is not lost. Is returned when a drop of this magnitude, it has to be done gradually.

People who have experience, know that the initial is backing up data. Then will recomposing services, little by little, noting, fine tuning, moving very slowly. It is the only way to recover with minimal losses.
This is a very good, recovery strategy. Have confidence.

Statistics of KakaoStats, they are based on hourly data from FAH. It would be desirable, but difficult, that KakaoStats can rebuild statistics of the Dec 11-12-13. Include them in a single period, it has been usual.

There have been issues with lost work units and missing points forever. So, for years, I have kept a spreadsheet listing every work unit that I have been assigned, the time that it was uploaded, and the points it should be credited. Each day I compare my expected points with the EOC stats for that day. When they don't agree, it is usually easy to tell which work unit(s) was/were not properly credited so it/they can be reported here.

I don't use the F@H stats very much because there is nothing but the current points total, which makes it very difficult to tell just what has or has not been credited if the total doesn't match my expectations. EOC stats show the work units and points credited in chronological order by 3-hour period, day, week, and month, making it pretty easy to match up with my spreadsheet.

Man, you've got the "F@H addiction" real bad

As best I can tell, current WU returns are getting credited, but some of the ones were not recorded during the outage haven't shown up yet. Is this consistent with what donors see?
I believe Dr. Pande is on top of this already, but our logging system is fairly extensive, and I am running a quick analysis to pull work unit records that were not recorded due to the database outage. I will then forward those data to Dr. Pande.
