[Solved]Rosetta Sever Down

[Nvidia Kid]

:bang head Looks like the sever and web is down AGAIN !

[Wayward_Son]

Yeah, I got home to find a couple thousand points of credit sitting idle. I finally got them all pushed through about 45 minutes ago.

[Evochuck]

seems to be the case right now too all my tasks are done and i cant dl new ones/ upload those :(

[dejo]

these very servers have to be the worst managed that I have ever come across. just crazy that there are as many issues with them, and we are donating our time, money and resources to help the bozo's.

[Jmtyra]

Drives me crazy when stuff like this happens. Over on the FAH side of the house, we had the same thing a month ago-ish, where the GPU3 WU server was up and down for roughly a week.

Just to say, we feel your pain. Hope they get it fixed for you folks soon.

Happy crunching!
:salute:

[drshivas]

They're usually not this bad. This is why you should keep a work buffer of 5-7 days.

[Jmtyra]

Makes sense -- I believe we kept ~10 days of work during the Nov harvest contest. Not being about to get new units/turn in units certainly hurts a person's RAC. :(

[Bobnova]

This is worse then usual for sure.
Still annoying though.

I don't think rosetta has the funding FAH does.

[dejo]

much more like this and they wont have my funding, paying for electiricity to run my boxes crunching. it is insane that they have as much issues as they do. if this was thier job and machines dropped monthly and for days, they would be looking for work elsewhere. Which is what I am thinking of doing, look for work over at F@H again

[Jmtyra]

The SETI folks were in the same boat not too long ago, I think the service was down for roughly a month? Some had the same idea as you dejo, to try out other DC projects.

All-in-all, it is upsetting to have your hard-earned computing cycles wasted. I'd be an unhappy camper, too...

[psionic98]

I have a question.. since I haven't obviously done this yet.. how do you set up your queue to hold a few days worth of work? More disk space or something?

[Jmtyra]

TBH I don't recall where it's at. I've only used Rosetta during the harvest contest. It...it might be under preferences (or options) I think, I forget what they named it, and there is an option to specify how much disk space to use, etc. I want to say it's in there somewhere.

Once of the Rosetta experts will probably know. :thup:

[dejo]

I think you have to access it from your online preferences.

[drshivas]

I have a question.. since I haven't obviously done this yet.. how do you set up your queue to hold a few days worth of work? More disk space or something?

Advanced | Preferences | network usage tab | Additional work buffer

I've tried 10 before, but sometime miss deadlines. 5 works for me. Good cushion and not too greedy.

Hang in there folks. They could have a major hardware failure. Who knows.

[psionic98]

aha..got it thanks..d/l'd a ton of seti cause rosie being down

[drshivas]

Yeah, I was right-- catastrophic hardware failure.

See this message they put at the root of their site: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/


"The project's fileserver has crashed. We're working to get things back online as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience. -KEL 01/06/2011"

[dejo]

the sad part is also how long it takes them to realize that something has crashed.

[Nvidia Kid]

Thanks drshivas for the link ! Lets hope they get it right this time:rolleyes: In three days I will start losing points:mad: THIS BLOWS !

[bmwbaxter]

i already started up my Eisenstein@home again. but as soon as Rosetta is back up i am gonna be back with my 2 new rigs running :burn: hopefully overrun a few more people on my way up the RAC ladder

[Evochuck]

Well, ill be crunching stars!

[psionic98]

my seti scores are going to go through the roof while rosie is down

[Bobnova]

SETI didn't seem to have anything to give my CPU to eat, so I joined WCG for the time being.

[Wayward_Son]

Looks like the servers might be up again, but every time I try to update it gives me the following message: "Message from server: Server can't open log file (../log_srv4/cgi.log)"

What does this mean? Anything I need to do on my end somehow? I have a bunch of work to report.

[drshivas]

Incase you didn't see their latest note:

Today's heros are Keith and Darwin, our systems administrators and hardware architects. Yesterday, our main filesystem crashed hard. There were warning lights flashing behind every disk on the SAN and it looked pretty grim. Thankfully, Keith and Darwin were able to pinpoint the problem to two redundant laser modules for the fiber optic loops (it was amazing and unlucky that both failed). The laser modules have since been replaced and the filesystem is back up. We'll be starting up the project again shortly. Thanks for your patience.

[Wayward_Son]

Okay. Thanks for the heads up. I guess the problem isn't on my end then, I was worried I was going to lose all those finished work units.

[baditude_df]

Lol, I like how everything's green on the server status page but still says "Disabled".

Alright team, everyone on the entire leader board has been hit hard. We're still in 5th place with 110K, so lets get that RAC back up where it belongs when everything comes back on line so we don't loose our place.

[Wayward_Son]

"Message from server: Server error: Can't attach shared memory"

[muddocktor]

Yep, I'm getting the same message, Wayward.

I have 1 system out of work so I put it doing some Seti crunching. Server problems is one reason why I migrated away from Seti in the first place.:bang head

[drshivas]

Well, our luck ran out. The SAN controller that has been causing so much trouble in the last few months finally tipped over in a rather distructive fashion, corrupting the binary tree on which the filesystem is based. We're trying to rebuild the thing but the sheer number of files in the filesystem (> 10M files) makes this process very, very slow. We're bringing the project up from a recent backup (12/09/10) but the backup wasn't a perfect replica of the environment, so we're having to scramble to get all the parts working together again. We only need a few more weeks and then our new, next generation SAN will be ready to be put into place... I just thought the old one would last a few more week. I apologize for the hassle and appreciate your patience as we get things online again... KEL 01/07/11

I wonder if all the work over the past month is for not if they have to restore to a partial backup from 12/9.

[bmwbaxter]

Server problems is one reason why I migrated away from Seti in the first place.:bang head
me too

[drshivas]

I switched a box to Milkyway@Home, and will check out WCG.

[Wayward_Son]

I'm still new to BOINC/Rosetta so I'm curious about some of its behavior and messages. Right now I have about 150 completed work units and I'm running out of units in my queue to crunch. All the completed units are listed as "Uploading" in the Status column even though they've been completed for the last few days while we wate for BakerLabs to get back up and running. The message I'm getting whenever a work unit finishes and tries to auto upload is this: "Project file upload manager missing."

Is that a problem on my end or the server end?

[drshivas]

It's their server problem. Nothing you can do at this moment. I have tons of stuck tasks in the upload state with the same message too.

The timing is unfortunate for all of us since we had a good head of steam coming off the harvest, and had great new folks sign up recently, like yourself.

Only thing we can do is wait this out. I've personally switched some of my idle machines to the WCG project, which also runs in BOINC. See the thread in the Other DC Projects forum.

I'm not encouraging you or anyone to bail on Rosetta, rather take this time to explore for yourself if idle rigs make you antsy. :temper:

[bmwbaxter]

I'm not encouraging you or anyone to bail on Rosetta, rather take this time to explore for yourself if idle rigs make you antsy. :temper:

i switched my rigs over to Einstein@home. it boosted me all the way up to 3rd place on team canada :cool:

[Wayward_Son]

That's cool. I appreciate your help. When I'm out of work units (probably this evening) I'll switch over to SETI and apply all my work units to the OCF SETI team. When Rosetta gets back up and running I'll switch back.

[drshivas]

Last I heard the SETI team was out of tasks too. Let me know if you have any luck.

[Bobnova]

I have some seti cpu tasks going.
GPU tasks are pretty sparse i guess.

[dejo]

my laptop has picked up some new wu's and is again working, but cant send any wu's in.

[Bobnova]

One of my boxes has managed to both download and upload a couple units.

[Yomama]

Between all my boxes I have probably about 50 units waiting to be transferred - many with an 09/01(today) expiration date - this is not good :(

[Sir-Epix]

Yep, I'm getting the same message, Wayward.

I have 1 system out of work so I put it doing some Seti crunching. Server problems is one reason why I migrated away from Seti in the first place.:bang head

Seti is back full bore with two brand new servers and a third one on the way. With just the two new servers the project has not gone down. It is back to the original stable days.

Last I heard the SETI team was out of tasks too. Let me know if you have any luck.

SETI has plenty of work to do and would welcome any help you want to loan during your outage time. We are currently in 11th Place in RAC and could use any help you have to offer. Feel free to stop by and say hello, ask for help to optimize, or start up a little competition.

You can also feel free to PM me if you need help optimizing.

[Wayward_Son]

That's good to know. I just brought my new second rig online and got it overclocked a bit. I'll switch both computers over to SETI here in a little while and join my work to Team OCF.

[Nvidia Kid]

Well I have over 25 pending as of the 8th 10 Not reported yet, deadline in the past well over 100 uploading on one of my 3 rigs, I'm done with Rosetta:mad: Was fun see ya !

[baditude_df]

Well I have over 25 pending as of the 8th 10 Not reported yet, deadline in the past well over 100 uploading on one of my 3 rigs, I'm done with Rosetta:mad: Was fun see ya !

What, Really? Anyone else jumping ship?
It's almost like its the end of the world in this thread.
Yeah it's a bad crash, but no project is perfect and/or has 100% up time on their servers, and it's not like they intentionally wronged anyone for god's sake.

[Wayward_Son]

No, it's not the end of the world. But I'm completely out of work units as of yesterday evening and I need something to feed my little monsters. Right now I have nine threads of SETI running. I lowered my preferences for new work down to three days. When Rosetta comes back online I'll finish what SETI I have left and switch back to Rosetta.

Definitely not the end of the world. Sheesh, it's not like you're paying them money for a service or anything.

[drshivas]

Well I have over 25 pending as of the 8th 10 Not reported yet, deadline in the past well over 100 uploading on one of my 3 rigs, I'm done with Rosetta:mad: Was fun see ya !

Eeek! Yeah, man, I think they'll work it out. I hope you come back.

As for me, I am totally sticking with the team. This downtime is just giving me options to explore what else is happening in the DC community. What I've learned so far is BOINC is still the best way to do grid computing, and many other smaller projects are using it through the WCG. I also took a peek back into F@H, and it's still client soup over there. SETI is always an option, but adding the optimizations to all my rigs for a short stint is a hurdle for me, honestly. But maybe that's me just being lazy. I added them for the Gauntlets. Meh.

EDIT: Not so bad with the lunatics unified installer. I must have read an old sticky that mentioned a manual way. Easy peasy, just follow this guide, if interested: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=625171

Anyway, what does bother me is this latest crash has exposed a flaw in their backup strategy. Honestly, it makes me wonder how seriously they take themselves. All this effort by everyone is for nothing if you can't keep the project up, and can't recover from a disaster. Most of my rigs are almost out of work, and I'm wondering if these will count since they're restoring from a December backup. I really hope they get their act together after this.

[baditude_df]

True, it does beg a few questions. And yes, it doesn't take more than a few crashes like this to ruin a project.

[Bobnova]

I'm staying on with rosetta till i hit 1m points, I intend to get 1m in all known OCF teams, then I'm coming back to rosetta as it's my favorite so far.

[bmwbaxter]

this morning i got another one of my rigs running and it got new tasks from Rosetta, but none of my other rigs are downloading/uploading anything. if my new rig sucessfully uploads i might reset the project on my other rigs and get rolling again. i only got like 25 waiting to upload so it might be more productive.

[drshivas]

I tried resetting the project a laptop last night and it didn't work for me. Let us know how it goes for you.

Taken from R@H website, I wouldnt expect anything in the coming days.

[muddocktor]

Like I posted in the Rosetta forums on their website, it's a crying shame none of these projects seem to care about providing proper infrastructure on the server end to keep their project running. I left Seti for this project because of server problems and if they can't restore their database to recover all the completed work units I now have in queue, I will probably move on to yet another project too, or move back to Seti. These academic types seem to be great on the idea end, but not so hot on hardware implementation to me. With Seti and this project, their server side seems to be abnormally vulnerable to hardware failure and with the F@H project, they are always coming up with yet another "best new client since sliced bread" before they ever work out the bugs in the present clients. Plus with them, they are always changing things around to where the hardware needed ends up costing too much to stay competitive in points; have to invest big bucks in hardware upgrades every year due to them changing their "flavor of the month" client or implementation thereof.

BTW, I have literally hundreds of completed work units in queue and have 1 machine switched over to Seti right now since it ran out of Rosie work days and days ago. And my other machines aren't far away from running out too. And I am not allowing new tasks from Rosetta until they fix server good enough to accept all these work units I have spent my money to crunch on electricity and hardware.

[baditude_df]

I'm down with that Mud. I'm not sure how much anyone had to pay to crunch the work that's currently sitting unaccepted on their systems, but some will deem it too much move on, and some will just write it off and start again from scratch.

I think the decision would likely correlate directly to how many machines any given person currently has on the project, and I think there would be somewhat of a trigger point.

For example, it cost's me very little to crunch right now and personally I could care less about the piddly amount of work currently sitting unrewarded, but I would imagine with 3 or more dedicated quad core machines a person would start weighing their options and probably wouldn't tolerate more than one crash like this.

Again though, I really don't think there is a project out there that has 100% uptime, and Rosie has been quite good since I started, minus a hiccup here and there.

[Nvidia Kid]

Just done till they get this FIXED ! This type of stuff just tees me off, So in no way am I jumping ship forever , Love this team ! I will keep an eye on this and when things are up and rolling again :blah: GOT TO GET MY 1ST MIL !

[bmwbaxter]

though, I really don't think there is a project out there that has 100% uptime, and Rosie has been quite good since I started, minus a hiccup here and there.

i have been on Einstein@home for around a year and it has never crashed. only down for a few hours a month to maintain it, but they tell you. its a pretty good setup IMHO.

[itsmeSchmitty]

i just started this a couple of days ago and got like 420 points or something overnight and now i have ~25 thing to upload for rosetta it says upload pending(project backoff: xx:xx:xx) amount of time or it says retry in x amount of time and wont up load or download. i know the servers have been down but are they back up or is it me. for the time being im currently crushing seti (or so it seems).

another quick question what does a person benefit from doing this. i see some people with setups that are almost more then my entire machine. im guessing this is in a sticky somewhere but i havn't found it but if there is then could someone redirect me
THANKS

its not just u. the severs are still having issues. also people don't get anything but bragging rights and knowing you are helping to benefit science.

[muddocktor]

I just aborted all my remaining work units that were to be crunched except for the ones they are working on plus one more reload. I had one machine I was manually able to get some completed work uploaded with, but then their servers quit taking them yet again. I swear, they really need to upgrade that server to at least a 486 DX2-66. ;)

I guess I will move the hex and the 930 back to Seti tomorrow.

[Jmtyra]

Wow guys, sorry to hear about the continued issues with Rosetta. Like others have said, it's sad they don't have a better infrastructure in place. I have to compliment you all, though...you're still donating computing cycles to a good cause, be it SETI, F@H, Milkyway@Home, WCG, etc.

Thanks for sticking to a distributed computing project, whichever one you chose, and not giving up.

:thup:

[baditude_df]

So, it looks like I had some uploading and downloading going on today. This is good.
WU's are slowly starting to trickle back in.

[Bobnova]

Mine all got reported in, no new tasks yet.

EDIT:
Now I have 17.2k pending credit :P

[Wayward_Son]

When I tried to join the SETI project I was having trouble figuring out what I had to do. I tried to "Detach" from the Rosetta project to see if that would open up something that would allow me to link up with SETI and in doing so I lost all my completed work, somewhere between 150 and 200 units.

THAT SUCKS! :cry:

but for future reference you just have to attach to a new project. it will automatically split up the work between multiple project(you can fine tune this after)

[Wayward_Son]

Yeah, I know that now. Grrrr.
:rain:

[Bobnova]

They processed a couple, it's down from 17,433 pending to 17,355!


More then anything I feel sorry for them, they were counting on funding at the beginning of the school year to replace the known POS bits that failed. Much like my gf and I are waiting for her financial aid.

I'm making an assumption that it's funding I guess.

[ChasR]

I decided I'd give rosetta some cpu cycles and see how it worked, but alas, it doesn't.

[Bobnova]

We appreciate the attempt! Try again in a couple weeks :D

[baditude_df]

I decided I'd give rosetta some cpu cycles and see how it worked, but alas, it doesn't.

Of all weeks to give it a try you pick the one where it's not working ? Shi*ty deal.

Yes, please come back in a few days as things are just get back to normal.

It's a good project and a good team, just too bad thier infrastructure didn't make it till upgrade time.

[ChasR]

I'll be sure to come back. I can probably never leave FAH entirely, but the current points scheme severely handicaps my Qs and that doesn't appear to be the case with Rosetta.

[baditude_df]

I'll be sure to come back. I can probably never leave FAH entirely, but the current points scheme severely handicaps my Qs and that doesn't appear to be the case with Rosetta.

Look forward to your return.

And you are correct, that is not the case with Rosetta.

[Bobnova]

That's why I switched to rosetta initially, they nerfed the hell out of my e5200 with the A3 core. Rosetta is great, it's a flat points scheme. It's based entirely on one thing as far as I can tell: How much work you got done.

Less complicated setup too, and when the server goes down (not if, sadly. So it goes) you aren't penalized for their server issues like you are with FAH.
The downside is of course more server issues, and if you have something like a 980x or other BigAdv monster FAH rewards you more then rosetta (see previous about flat points, heh).

In other news they chewed through another 1300 of my pending credit, the backup-restore must be coming along.
Hopefully there'll be more units to crunch soon. Though I am rather enjoying the small memory footprint of WCG/Seti :P

EDIT:
Work box has gotten and returned six WUs! No points for them yet (pending...), but I think that's a good sign.

[drshivas]

Look forward to your return.

And you are correct, that is not the case with Rosetta.

Ditto, ChasR. The door is open, and your quads will have a purpose again!

[bmwbaxter]

all my wu are uploaded, just waiting to get some more. hope this means it is fixed.

[Nvidia Kid]

Getting WU's , RAC is rising to were it should be,no lost WU's ! All in all just some down time , not so bad after all . TIME TO KICK SOME ASS! :thup:

[drshivas]

As many of you are probably aware of already, we've been working hard to try to resurrect the project with the resources we have at hand. Today we replaced a very small temporary disk with a larger 3TB one that we received from the vendor a few days ago. With this disk in place we should soon be back up and running. We have yet to restore data from jobs before the disk failure so these older jobs will still be pending. However, all pending jobs will eventually be granted credit. The good news is that the data from the failed disk has been recovered and we are currently copying it to the new disk. Thank you all for your patience.

Glad to hear that they're on top of it.

[Bobnova]

All my pending credit has been turned into credit. No new tasks yet though.

[psionic98]

As of yesterday I still have 4 files waiting to upload, no new tasks either.

My SETI #s look great though!

[Bobnova]

I got four new tasks on my home box and another eight on my work box.
It's starting!

[Jmtyra]

Sounds like they are back online. Glad to hear the issues have been resolved. Happy Crunching! :)

:salute:

[Bobnova]

Looks like a 4WU/day max. Intersting.
Time to set it to 20 hours of calculation per WU :rock:

[Wayward_Son]

How exactly do you do that, Bob?

[psionic98]

Finally got my completed projects uploaded.. requested more work but got nothing..

[Bobnova]

Go to here: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/prefs.php?subset=project
Select Edit Preferences.
Change "Target CPU Run Time" to whatever you want it to be.
Hit save.
Then update your client.

That should do it. (At least the next time tasks are downloaded)

[ChasR]

Two Qs folding Rosetta for overclockers.com. One on -oneunit, probably more to follow.

[Bobnova]

Woot! Hopefully Rosetta will keep them well fed :D

[drshivas]

Two Qs folding Rosetta for overclockers.com. One on -oneunit, probably more to follow.

Glad to hear it, Chas!

I set SETI to "no new tasks" on all my rigs this morning. I should be back to Rosie tonight, assuming the best on their end, of course.

Glad to hear it, Chas!

Backing the truck up as I type :) :comp:

[muddocktor]

I still have 1 system set for Rosetta, but it isn't getting any work. So I am about to switch it over to Seti too. I'm not going to have my systems up and running and not producing work for our forum teams somewhere.

[drshivas]

All my rigs got work after a couple BOINC scheduler requests, but now I see the project is back down for maintenance.

I'm sure they'll be back early this week. Hope you stick around, Mudd! But I agree, if Rosie hits the skids again, I'm all on SETI.

[bmwbaxter]

hmmm, thats odd. all my WU are uploaded and i am getting WU like everything is normal. hope you get some too, so we can keep your killer 980x.

[Wayward_Son]

I've only been able to get work units for one machine, and even then its only a couple units per day. I'm sticking with seti until I can leave my rigs unattended with Rosetta and plenty of work.

[dejo]

I will wait for them to get their heads out, and show that they can keep it out for an extended period of time before I start running Rosie again. I hate to see an Ocforums team not in the top 20 or better, but their incompetence drives me crazy. I am sure I will be back, but they will have to prove they can keep their side of the deal up for alot longer than they have here lately

[psionic98]

I've also set SETI to no new tasks since I had a queue of 5days.. it has plenty of work for now! Rosie here I come!

[visbits]

Yeah, I was right-- catastrophic hardware failure.

See this message they put at the root of their site: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/


lol, failing the fibre channel loop, thats a new one.. must be some OLDDDDDDDD hardware..

[Wayward_Son]

I'm now starting to get a good amount of Rosetta units for both computers. I'm leaving Rosetta suspended on both machines while I clear out the last of my SETI work units. My 1090T rig has about 25 units to crunch including three big Astropulse units, should take another day or so. Maybe a day and a half. My 740BE X4 rig is just finishing up its regular work units not counting its Cuda units, should be done in the next few hours. I'll get the 740BE X4 rig starting on Rosie this afternoon while the Patriots are dismantling the Jets.

[ChasR]

I set my target cpu run time to 20 hours and the 4 rigs I have at home seem to stay fed. I suppose the longer WUs help bridge over server downtime.

[Wayward_Son]

What happens to work units if you, say, decide to reformat the drive containing BOINC? I just realized I was planning on brining my new Vertex II online today and doing a complete reinstall of my OS and benching software to the new drive, then formatting my current 320gb Caviar and using it as my storage device. That means I'll lose all the work units I've been able to download, right? Is that a big deal? Considering the problems that Bakerlabs is having should I crunch the units I've been able to receive and then reinstall, or should I just do it today like I planned?

[drshivas]

Best thing to do is abort them and update. That way they'll get recycled to someone else.

ChasR, you can also increase your work buffer to bridge server downtimes. I set mine to 5 days. 10 makes some of my rugs miss deadlines.

[muddocktor]

I have had success in the past (with Seti) by copying over the entire folders that the work units resided in, along with the install folder on a thumb drive. Then after reformatting and installing the same version BOINC client back into the same logical drives as before the format (if you installed into C drive then back to C drive, etc), then not letting the client go online and shutting it down. Then I replaced the new install folders with the older ones from the thumb drive and restarted the client. This was also done with the same OS on both installs, BTW. I doubt that it would work doing this with an OS change. And it was also done with older clients than the present ones, so I don't know how well this would work with the newer clients.

I've also done something simlar as to what mudd said. I moved over my 2 directories (on 2nd hdd than OS), but after installing bionic again I linked it up to the old folders and the system picked them back up and started crunching again. I did also copy any file aside from the EXE out of the bionic folder too.. configs etc.

I'm trying to get my rigs back on line after the outage... some were switched to WCG while others were idled. It looks like one rig's HDD has failed? and I may lose the data on it. I've got a new SB 2600K rig crunching at 4.6GHz with ~ 1.31v load.:thup: I may do some parting out of my 1366 stuff and bring another 2600K setup online.

Looks like things are back at full capacity. I've had no interruptions for the past few days. While I'm still waiting for an official announcement, it's probably safe to wade back in.

I'm rocking and rolling again with my two machines. I was this close to breaking into the top ten of our team with just my 1090T rig. Now with an additional four cores up and running I think I'll break into the club. :)

Sweet.

We should try and get this thread title edited to say SOLVED. Bumping this thread looks bad now :(

I'm slowly migrating my systems back to Rosetta. And with the server problems with Seti right now:rolleyes:, the move will be over sooner than later.

And I will stick a fork in this thread; it's done with.:rofl:
