HOW TO:

- Ask for Help

I installed Windows 8.1 this morning. First job was to install BOINC and connect to GPUGrid. Got a long and it's processing. But...

I have two GPUs, both seen by Device Manager, but I cannot get another WU after many "update" commands.

Is this due to the current problem or must I do something to get a second?

This is a different problem.
Possibly you can resolve this by creating a line containing <use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus> under the <options> section of the cc_config.xml file on your host.
See this post.

Many thanks Retvari. That hit the spot!!

Just be patient, and make sure your backup projects can keep the GPUs busy :)

Hopefully Einstein has new enough applications and dont dislike some of my x4 pcie 1.0 slots anymore ^^ they are gpugrid only cruncher so they are build cheapest possible i could get it run here at full speed *hehe* but we will see, we only can wait as mentioned, one machine seemed to upload enough files to get two new Workunits itself over night :)

Edit: no Sir, Einstein still dont like low PCIe bandwidth, BOINCTasks says two 570s and one of it is 50% slower then the other, noooo ^^

freed up some space this morning.

Not enough, I am still getting the error. :P
Feel free to free some more ;)

In light of this issue I think I will switch to long runs on my server from now on :D

Still getting no luck on uploads, and server refuses to give me more tasks to run.

freed up some space this morning.

Thanks, but we are still unable to upload, due to no space being available.

Hello!
So... Some disk is full,right? I'm having biggest part of a short-run-wu waiting uploading here too. Boinc says the transfer is 100% but status remains "sending". I guess it sends it some day?

And I see the server is fast running out of longs...

Boinc says the transfer is 100% but status remains "sending".

+1, retries every 4-5 hours fail. No space on disk, it reminds me of other DC projects poorly managed.

The entire staff on vacation?

I'd expect most of them to be away from the project on Sundays. There might not be any there who know how to free any disk space without creating problems that are even worse.

An additional hard disk for the server is fairly cheap, but would they need to buy something else (such as a hard drive cabinet) in order to allow the server to use it? They might mention the price they would have to pay in order to add a terabyte or so of hard drive space to the server, and then ask for donations to pay for this.

They should, however, tell the server to extend the deadlines of all workunits still in progress by approximately the length of the upload outages.

Downloading workunits MIGHT help free some disk space, so you should probably keep on downloading and running workunits as long as you have enough hard drive space on your computers to store the output files of the workunits - unless the problem on the server gets bad enough to prevent any more downloads.

An additional hard disk for the server is fairly cheap..

It is hard to imagine for me that no one seems to have observed the available disk space for the entire project. Hmm..

Not for me! This morning I found an upload that had stalled at 100%. I did a retry and it is now at 48%.

Ehm ok not all units uploaded, full again now O.o

Hopefully something today on monday happens, the deadline is coming closer on some units and a massive resend cos much units will go over 2 1/2 day until report when they "repaired" it O.o

.....Still have the issue on my two hosts; although overnight one host did manage to report 4 WUs, it is now stalled again.
