BTW, I'm unable to find any notes about started/finished down/uploads in my logs for a very long time - since 23.4.2011. When was it deprecated??

Peter

Not sure what you mean? Are you asking when it was fixed (apparently not!) or when the last time was that changes to it were made? That'd be the 20th of April 2011.

"client: defer reporting completed tasks if an upload started recently; we might be able to report more tasks once the upload completes."

But let's not foul up BB's thread with this. I moved us off to our own thread on this. :)

Not sure what you mean?

I mean, I'm completely missing lines like

Dust in your eyes? ;-)

Mine are showing, without core configuration flag:

Cleaned today :-)

On this machine, the last ones were

23-Apr-2011 10:33:05 [WUProp@Home] Started download of wu_1303317104_23653
23-Apr-2011 10:33:06 [WUProp@Home] Finished download of wu_1303317104_23653

I can occasionally see just lines like

Backing off 22 min 10 sec on download of 
Backing off 19 min 24 sec on upload of 
[cpu_sched] Request CPU reschedule: files downloaded

Its BOINC was restarted and upgraded and downgraded a load of times since.

I'll try to check some more machine later.

Just to be sure, what are your log_flags?

25/05/2011 19:50:05 |  | log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task, benchmark_debug, checkpoint_debug
25/05/2011 19:50:05 |  | log flags: cpu_sched, dcf_debug, file_xfer_debug, sched_op_debug, statefile_debug

25/05/2011 19:50:05 |  | log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task, benchmark_debug, checkpoint_debug
25/05/2011 19:50:05 |  | log flags: cpu_sched, dcf_debug, file_xfer_debug, sched_op_debug, statefile_debug

I'll tell later when I'm again behind the machine. According to my snapshot of 6.11.17 sources, a code in "client/pers_file_xfer.cpp"

bool PERS_FILE_XFER::poll() {
   ...
   if (log_flags.file_xfer) {
       msg_printf(
           fip->project, MSG_INFO, "Finished %s of %s",
           is_upload?"upload":"download", fip->name
       );
   }
   ...
}

is responsible for the log, so I suspect that "file_xfer" could be missing on that machine. I'll check then when back there. (But I'd not ever remove it intentionally. I've been downgrading BOINC on the machine step-by-step to 6.10.32 and then back to 6.12.26, but I also hope that neither the installer nor older client would touch cc_config.xml?)

My other machine contains "log flags: file_xfer, sched_ops, task, cpu_sched, sched_op_debug, task_debug, unparsed_xml" and it keeps logging the started/finished down/uploads. So, at least it was not (yet) deprecated :-)

6.12.26 Log snip:

Set log flags:

<log_flags>
<task>1</task>
<file_xfer>1</file_xfer>
<cpu_sched>1</cpu_sched>
<dcf_debug>1</dcf_debug>
<sched_op_debug>1</sched_op_debug>
<checkpoint_debug>1</checkpoint_debug>
</log_flags>

<file_xfer>, <sched_ops> and <task> are the default log flags, they come enabled with each BOINC installation. You will have to especially disable them in a cc_config.xml file to, well, disable them.

<task>
The start and completion of compute jobs (should get two messages per job).
<file_xfer>
The start and completion of file transfers.
<sched_ops>
Connections with scheduling servers.

Apparently my alter ego has been modifying and re-reading cc_config.xml a couple of times (10?) at the night of 23-Apr-2011 and "file_xfer" was left disabled :-( I'll be suing him (or her, have to find out first:) for the incident.

I apologize to anyone who might be feeling sued for deprecating the functionality ;-)
