Our storage array hung again (the SnapApp work around is not yet implemented). It has not yet responded to a reboot command. Data service may well be off until we can hard reset it tomorrow morning.

We are investigating the Win98 hang/crashing issues in this Thread Please check it out for any updates.
NOTE: This bug puts your machine in a state that causes you to reset your machine in order to be able to use it, this in turn can cause disk corruption. We recommend that you hold off executing BOINC on Win98 and WinME until this issue is resolved.

Climateprediction.net, another BOINC-based project, is now open. We urge all SETI@home to consider participating in Climateprediction.net. This will keep your computer busy (and earning credit) even when SETI@home has no work available.

Starting with version 4, BOINC does 'time-slicing' to divide CPU time between projects. Learn more here.

We are back up after restarting the Snap Appliance and making sure everything is OK. We had a long conference call with the engineers at Snap this morning they have come up with a work around as well as a potential fix that should end the system hangs. Thanks go to the Snap App folks for working very hard on this problem.
During all of this some web site files were lost and these are being restored now.

A fix to scheduler code to get around a possible memory leak was causing it to bomb after a number of connections. We have backed out this change for now and the scheduler seems to be working OK at this point.

After fixing a few inevitable gotchas, we are back up with the major version upgrade to 4.x. The servers may be slow in responding as all clients will be getting a new supply of work. Everyone will need to download a new core client.
August 28, 2004
The migration plan has been rescheduled for tomorrow the 29th at 10am PDT. We have brought down the scheduler and file upload handler until the migration happens to give the splitters and transitioners time to produce enough workunits and results to send out after the migration when the clients reset themselves.

The last set of hardware issues have been resolved. Due to the time of day and other factors the upgrade will be delayed until at least tomorrow morning. We'll post the revised schedule as soon as plans have been firmed up.

We are currently experiencing a hardware issue with our scheduling server, we expect this issue to be resolved within the hour. The upgrade to 4.x will start around 11am PDT and will take roughly an hour. Anybody who has any remaining results to report should get them in before the upgrade. After the upgrade you'll need the 4.x clients to report new results, and upgrading to the 4.x client will reset the project on your machine. Roughly 100,000 results are queued up and ready to be sent out after the upgrade, plus the three splitters will be up and running producing work as quickly as possible.
