I'm not getting work again on G4000. It connects but nothing is sent. Sounds like a config problem.

Looks like it's been this way for about 5 hours now. Switching to my independent stuff.

I'm beginning to think I should just give up on hosting my own servers. It requires far more technical knowledge than I have and I'm out of town too much to keep being concerned about it every time I leave. I feel bad that people are losing so much of their CPU time. It's becoming not worth it. It's too costly to the project and to individuals.

Max, can you see what is up again? Also, please add the JobMaxTime as well as the rejected pairs file to the web page for both servers. Those are a must have at this point.

Edit: In looking, I think we may need to run that stupid loop thingie if it wasn't previously run. I think the pruning has caused that same problem as before. I wish we could just turn off the pruning permanently. Alas, I know that is not a possibility.

Karsten, no, I didn't misunderstand you. I was wrong on port G8000 being 5 days though. As Max said G4000 and G8000 are 3 days. I'm sorry about all of those rejected pairs. Later today, I'll look in the rejected pairs file. Unless someone else connected to the server and took them (including yourself), they shouldn't have been rejected. 1 day should be enough. If it's not, you'll have to take less pairs. I'm sorry. We cannot keep bugging the server guys to mess around with these JobMaxTimes. They've been changed multiple times already. For machines that need longer times, I would suggest manual reservations. We still have plenty of k's available in the individual-k drive to search manually.

Something is really wierd. I switched to my independent stuff and 30 minutes later gb4000 accepts 4 results. See the results file for that port. 6 AM it stops accepting my stuff and 11AM it accepts 4, 1/2 hour AFTER I switched. This is the Twilight Zone.

I must say that I do try to avoid your servers because of their unreliability. :sad:

I'm ready to throw in the towel on G4000 and G8000. Is anyone in favor of moving those to IronBits machines? We'll make them a JobMaxTime of 3 days and keep them there. Everything else stays at 1 day with IB9000 at 2 days. Obviously they'll need to be a different port.

Max, you could keep the rest of the servers on my machines such as the PRPnet servers as well as your personal servers. I'm now wanting to get away from non-experimental public NPLB servers on my machines. Experimental ones like for PRPnet are OK.

I don't blame you.

what's going on now with GB8000?

just sent 31 results but no new ones! :rant:

PS: they're in the last copy-off, but could not receive new!

PPS: DOE'S ANYONE GOT AN EYE ON THE SERVER????

look at the IB9000 joblist with [b]ALL[/b] available pairs upto 900k reserved by ltest,test or '&'!!!!

KILL THAT GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PPPS: same with IB2000 and IB4000!

I've had that problem all day with GB4000. :crank: :censored:

someone has to stop the server! NOW!!!

<after calming down>

my suggestion:

for further running those LLRnet server we have to restrict the access.

if it's possible to send pairs only to registered persons, so do this.

perhaps by indetification of the IP or any access or login!

otherwise we had to stop LLRnet and do all things manually!

Okay, I've shut down GB4000 and GB8000. Meanwhile, I *think* I've got the IP address of the guy who was grabbing all of those pairs. I'll do a bit of digging and see what I can come up with.

Also, I agree with what Gary's been saying about running LLRnet servers on his machines. We seem to be running into one problem after another. If everyone is OK with the idea of moving the servers to David's machines, I can package up the knpairs.txt files and send them to David so he can load them into new servers.
