Well, we seem to have survived that one, though it was a bit choppy there for a while. Maybe it was just a gravity wave passing through.
In case anyone doesn't see a mechanism for the SETI outage (which continues) to affect Einstein: round about the time I posted yesterday, I noticed that three of my four heavy-duty hosts (quads or above) - which normally devote around 1 core to Einstein - were switched to a completely new frequency range: presumably the pre-prepared S5R5 tasks ready to send for the previous frequency had all been gobbled up by the new demand. So I had to download a complete set of new data files for each machine. What does that add up to these days - ~50 MB per host?
After 5 more days, the backlog has reduced to the prior month's peak! :)
Just two days later, my backlog of "pending" work units has reduced about 4K more, from last month's peak to approx last month's average! Don't know, but it may have been helped by what I think is a regular "weekend cleanup" at E@h, so I may still have some unresolved issued pending. But the numbers are back in the general range that I'm used to, so I'll quit being concerned.
(The Q6600 that I lamented earlier, still has its feet waving about in the air. No reasonable thoughts on how to diagnose, so guess it is off to the shop tomorrow.)
