confusing server error messages

ramgeis · 2013-06-09, 22:17

Hi,

I just tried to submit a bunch of manual testing results but for most of them I got confusing error messages from the server, like these for M80255597:

Processing result: no factor for M80255597 from 2^69 to 2^70 [mfaktc 0.20 barrett76_mul32_gs]
Unable to delete assignment ID: F5907E73741C93D31C15B5F88916D8D8
Processing result: no factor for M80255597 from 2^70 to 2^71 [mfaktc 0.20 barrett76_mul32_gs]
Error code: 40, error text: TF result for M80255597 was not needed
Processing result: no factor for M80255597 from 2^71 to 2^72 [mfaktc 0.20 barrett76_mul32_gs]
Error code: 40, error text: TF result for M80255597 was not needed
Processing result: no factor for M80255597 from 2^72 to 2^73 [mfaktc 0.20 barrett76_mul32_gs]
Error code: 40, error text: TF result for M80255597 was not needed

Doing a database query on the status of M80255597 http://www.mersenne.org/report_expon...&B1=Get+status shows me that everything seems to be ok:

Where is/was the problem? Any idea what happened? Some exponents reported ok though but I don't see the difference...

primenet consider your extra work as not necessary, but you still got the credit for it, that s all.

That is not what I meant. I can see what the server replied and I know what it means. I should have mentioned that I got the "result not needed" error message also for ranges assigned to me by the server in a quite random way and I didn't see for those which I checked that someone else returned the result. This does not make sense for me. Also for the other exponents in the vicinity of those with the error messages the extra work was as expected no problem, so my question is more like: is everything ok with the server?
