You'll have to be patient. Ready to send is around zero for both MB and AP.
Hopefully somebody can get a message through to whoever is in the lab. I have sent a couple of messages to Eric this week, but I believe he is out of town.

To makes things even worse. The other splitters that are not stuck seem to be moving through mud or something. The same other 4 tapes have been at it since we came back yesterday. Normally they would have ripped though those tapes and started at the top where the finished AP tapes are long ago.

I´m disapointed, seem's like no one in the lab read antyhing we post here, the tape is stuck for more than 24 hrs now and aparently nobody see that. Where are they?

That rises a question: If we found an ET call would be anyone in the lab to acknowledgue that?

And the WUs which are split off them are almost all shorties. I don't know if there's any technical reason making the splitters work harder if the source data was recorded at high ARs.

As far as I am aware no one in the lab does or has ever read these boards.

That's a little cynical, Bernie. Try message 1514606.

A few things I'm curious about that msattler with his contacts may be able to get information on.

1 There are 7 PFB splitters, but I have only ever seen 5 of them running. PFB splitters 0 & 14 are always disabled. Any particular reason?
2 There are SAH Validate & SAH validate (v7) validators, as well as SAH assimilator & SAH assimilator (v7) assimilators. I'm guessing the ones without (v7) are for the older applications, and I'm pretty sure they've finally cleared all of the old WUs out.
Wouldn't removing those older Validators & assimilators free up resources? That would allow for more PFB splitters, and also allow them to run.

Things will still get stuck, but if there were 10 PFB splitters running we could lose half of them & it would have no effect on work availability. As things are, just losing one can be enough to stop the Ready-to-send buffer from re-filling & limit work available for download.

"...it seems that our result storage server can't handle much higher a load."

Since the old validators/assimilators are not doing any work. So just sit idle taking up little to no resources that would be of use.

Maybe time for another specific fund raiser?

I think the current hardware priority is for the Green Bank recorder stuff, but that might be finished. There have not been any updates in a while on http://www.gpuug.org/ about the status.
If that is complete they may have other needs that are more important then a faster disk array.

On the plus side MB RTS is growing once again!

Probably due to the amount of AP work that's been going out.
Splitter output is still borked.

Yeah,

But with fewer shorties being pulled down, the remaining splitters are enough to slowly rebuild the ready-to-send buffer. Perhaps helped by the AP crowd not muscling in on the act ;)

I reckon the AP feeding frenzy would be having the biggest impact.

I´m not sure about that. Why? Simply because the slow down of the splitting process happening before the AP frenzy starts, the problem starts when any tape is stuck. At that time 3 days ago there where no AP splitters running, just remember the last monday.

On the contrary when we have AP spliting the intensity of the problem is smaller because less hosts ask for MB WU, releasing some of the remaining MB splitters workload.

A simple kick o the stuck WU normaly clears the problem. What i can understand why that is not automatic.
