Other symptoms - Both files will upload to 100% as reported by the progress bar in the transfer tab, but does not finish off, going to transient error. I saw on the server page that the db_purge process has stopped.

yeah... I am getting a repeated "no space left on server" error message.. which is a bummer, because it wont allow another WU to download until that one uploads..

I have a second WU running, but I hope this one upload before THAT one finishes..or my GPU will get really cold.....

We are looking into it. I am momentarily suspending uploads to clear the queue, though.

I am seeing upload size of 12mb (megabytes). That seems unusually large. Is that the normal size for gpugrid uploads?



I was unaware the upload sizes were that large. My average upload speed is about 32kb and I am paying for only 128kb download on dsl.

Yes, that's the norm for many WUs.

Yes, that's the norm for many WUs.

BTW, I tried zipping that 12mb result and it slightly increased the size of the file. Can you tell me anything about the result file contents, how it is encoded or compressed, etc?

thanks.

It's already compressed, re-zipping it won't decrease the size.

Got very simular messages:

Really don't know, what to do in such case, the rest of almost processed result files was uploaded automatically.
It would be really a pity, if I can't upload the results file.
Any advice ?
Thanks in advance.

Just leave it to the BOINC client - it will keep track of it and upload when its back in. The Client will slowly increase the time between retrys, so keep your eye on that - it maybe at "retry in 24 hrs (etc)" when the server is back and will need a manual update to get past that.

It will not matter if you need to reboot/close down (whatever) the Client will track it for you, so you will not lose anything.

Zy

Many thanks, Zydor, for advice, will keep a eye on its behavior.

Looks like things are on the move - server is "all green" at the moment, so will not be long, upload still not working at the moment but that can happen if there is a large queue to sort out.

Anyone out there managed to upload anything yet? Servers been all green for 5 hours now .... I get instant retry when pressing "retry now" button in transfer tab, which tends to indicate uploads still disabled ... just checking what the latest is

I have been able to upload work, but when I go to download new work (having worked thru my GPUGrid cache) I am getting:

8/13/2009 4:54:07 PM|GPUGRID|Sending scheduler request: To fetch work. Requesting 3224249 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks
8/13/2009 4:54:12 PM|GPUGRID|Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
8/13/2009 4:54:12 PM|GPUGRID|Message from server: No work sent
8/13/2009 4:54:12 PM|GPUGRID|Message from server: Full-atom molecular dynamics on Cell processor is not available for your type of computer.

I encounter this with both the 186 driver and the newer 190 driver on Windows XP SP3. I have the 9800GT.

It seems with enough retries I sometimes do get a work unit. I was letting my cache drain out before, so as to not have a backlog of two or three work units available. Seems that this approach is not the right way to go at the moment.

It is a bit confusing as the server status indicates there are 100's of work units available.

No. New work downloads but completed work does not upload.

Uploads were suspended temporarily (post 11834 above) - it might be they were never re-enabled when the disk issue was solved. No doubt we'll see in the morning.

I can upload new work after complete calculation, but I can't upload the older completed WUs from the time, when the server disk was full. I get this message:

14.08.2009 02:52:00 GPUGRID [error] Error reported by file upload server: can't open file
14.08.2009 02:52:00 GPUGRID Backing off 2 hr 12 min 58 sec on upload of 188-GIANNI_CLOZ-0-50-RND8622_1_4

Unfortunely this count also for new work, so I get not enough work for my GTX295. This WUs in upload blocks the download.

14.08.2009 02:55:45 GPUGRID Message from server: No work sent
14.08.2009 02:55:45 GPUGRID Message from server: (reached limit of 4 GPU tasks)

What shall I do? Abort the upload to get new work or wait for a solution on the server site?

Dont abort - leave it to BOINC Client it will look after it. Carry on crunching new models downloaded. When the upload is fixed you might need to "retry" in the transfer Tab of BOINC Manager, but for the moment let them crunch away and stack up in a queue - the Client will look after them. You can still close down/reboot etc in the normal way it will not lose them provided you close BOINC manager properly.

It will resolve itself once they fix the upload problem, hopefully tomorrow - but it will not matter if it takes longer, just crunch away and let them stack up inside BOINC Manager, they will be fine. You will be able to download new WUs in the normal way if you need them.

I get the same error message as Kokomiko!
