OK, but you better be nice to me or I'll set it to 1 day at random times just for my own entertainment! lol

Though of course if you started doing that then I could just start running the server from the max username instead of the gary username that it's being run from now, so you wouldn't be able to change anything...hey, wait a minute, why am I telling you this stuff?

Sherri went over to my place tonight. The computer that has been hosting the server is down. She turned it on and the green light came on but nothing else. She confirmed that the other 9 machines are still running as well as my slower Windows desktop and very slow borrowed laptop upstairs that I have running various low-intensity CRUS efforts. Murphy's law rules as usual: The server machine is the only one that went down. 11 total are running just fine.

As usual, it looks like another bad mobo. My 5th now. Once this one is replaced, assuming that is the issue, it should put all of my machines under 70 C after I reapply the thermal goo so I HOPE that will be the last problem I have with them.

Max, when I get back on Tuesday night, I'll swap hard drives with another good machine and I'll order whatever part has gone down on the bad machine. I'll let you know what machine it is so you can get the server running again.

To all: Assuming that Max can do this within a day, I would anticipate that port 4000 will be running again by Weds. night. I'll likely move most of my machines over to it to process the lower n-range at that time.

Okay, cool. As for notifying me which machine you swap the hard drive with, that won't be necessary; that's because the "heart and soul" of crunchford, so to speak, are in its hard drive; and thus, when you swap the hard drive, the new machine essentially becomes crunchford. It will have an IP address of 192.168.2.100 and should automatically fit right in to crunchford's previous role as gateway machine.

As for how fast I can get port 4000 up and running again: no problem, that shouldn't take long at all. I can probably have it going within 5 minutes of receiving word that you've got the machine back online.

Well, duh. I've swapped a couple of hard drives already and knew that. lol Brain fart again. I'm thinking I'll be home by 8 PM my time Tuesday so should have the hard drive swapped out by 10 PM after unpacking and stuff. I'll let you know.

In the mean time, please quickly send another n=5K file to port 400. We have less than 2 days work in it right now. I'll pull all of my machines off to dry port 4000 when it comes back up and after that, arrange them as necessary to dry any remaining ranges as needed in the various servers.

Back from my business trip now...

Max, it'll be an hour or so before I get the hard drive swapped out of the bad machine.

Per my subsequent comments in another thread, I'll leave all my machines on port 400 and Ian will move his back to port 4000 since he was running that one originally.

I'll post in this thread when port 4000 is up and running again.

I'm going to assume you are having problems getting G4000 up again.

I'll stay on IB400 till I get the word. Going to take a nap.

No, no problems. I didn't get home from my trip until close to 10 CST. I'm just now swapping out the hard drive between the bad machine and a good one. Max said he was going to bed an hour or so ago. So it will likely be the morning or early afternoon on Weds.

My bad machine, once again, is a bad mobo. I see the popped tops. On the last 2 mobos that went bad, there was no physical problem that I could see with them so I had to test several things. At least I don't have to do a bunch of testing to know where the problem lies this time.

MyDogBuster · 2008-12-10, 08:03

Okay, I'm off to bed then. Sorry to hear about the mobo. At least quad boards aren't as expensive as they used to be.

If you get G4000 up I'll move 7 cores to it (~1600 candidates per day).
