The server is up again and all should get back to normal very quickly.

GPUGRID	31/01/2011 16:53:28	[error] Error reported by file upload server: can't open file

on all file uploads - apparently after all data has successfully transferred. (task 3631188)

Same here. No dn/up loads. Have 13 uploads stuck in the pipe. It will take a bit to get these sorted. :)

Yeah, looks like the gpugrid_file_deleter program failed on the server.
Might be to do with changes in task size, a bad batch or just a random service failure event, ie I know nothing.

For the next few hours I'm turning my systems off and doing some dusting ;)

For those that can micromanage you might want to suspend the pending uploads and keep an eye on the server status page

Some crunchers might want to hook up to MilkyWay (or other GPU project), keep a low cache (0.01 days) and wait it out.

Would a failed 'deleter' daemon really cause this error? Does their data storage really fill up that quickly? Feels more like a NAS mounting error to me.

[Edit - especially as there are - reportedly - only a few files waiting to be deleted]

Possibly but for all I know they have stopped the service.
Yes data storage is a repeating issue.
It could well be a NAS issue. Good point because if it is a NAS issue its probably down to the technicians to fix, not the research team, and that means it could be down until tomorrow morning.

Bags me first in queue when it gets sorted, lol

Even if the upload/download server is displayed as running, I cannot download or upload anything.
Here is the messages I get:

Fixed.

Thanks, and just to confirm I have downloaded new tasks and uploaded finished work. Most tasks should report back automatically in a reasonable time, but if you don't have work do a manual update.

I did a manual update, all 4 tasks were uploaded successfully two of them were successfully reported. I received two new WUs. But the two other WU cannot be reported, and I'm still receiving:

2011.01.31. 23:34:38 GPUGRID Message from server: Server can't open database

It's ok now. The remaining two tasks were successfully reported, and I received two more WUs.

But the error message persists:

2011.01.31. 23:45:49 GPUGRID Message from server: Server can't open database

I don't understand this error message, everything seems to be working fine.
