malariacontrol.net went offline at around 0900 UTC on Friday 24 January and will be down for at least this weekend. All pages are currently generating the following message:

Site is temporary unavailable.

Sorry, we had a major failure! We're dealing with it and should be back next week, but the server will be down at least over this weekend.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Asteroids@home scheduled outage
There is going to be another server upgrade on Monday 27.01.2014 starting at 07:30 UTC. RAID array and filesystem will have to be adjusted so it will take more time. Server will be offline approximately 3 days. I assume being online on Wednesday 29.01.2014 till 11:00 UTC. If there will be more delay I will inform about it on twitter.

Their VM crashed and they haven't got a clue what caused it or how to fix that.

There has been what appears to be a complete failure of the Virtual Machines that host our websites and upload servers.

We have had no information about what might be wrong, nor any indication of how long it will be before they are back.

Any news on when Malariacontrol will be back online? All these WU trying to upload or waiting to report are a pain, especially as they are now overdue. Since projects that have big crashes often have to restore from a backup and lose the record of outstanding WU, I'm wondering whether to reset the project to try to get rid of them but I'm not exactly sure what a project reset from BOINC manager would do if the project is unreachable.

We're all in the same boat. I've just suspended the project for now so BOINC wont keep polling for new work from that at least. I'm going to hang on to my completed work for now. It shouldn't be long now I hope.

Message 52220 - Posted: 29 Jan 2014, 21:33:58 UTC - in response to Message 52096.  

He's just posted an update -- not good news -- figure about 2 weeks before the server is rebuilt and online:

The Collatz server is currently down due to a hard drive controller failure. New hardware should arrive in the next day or two. A complete rebuild of the operating system, BOINC, and the Collatz software and project setup will then need to be done prior to the project coming back online. As this will be a complete rebuild, there is no sense hanging on to any completed workunits at this time. So, go ahead and abort any workunits you have whether they are complete or not. I expect the project will remain down for the next 10-15 days while I set it all back up and test it. Sorry for any inconvenience. And yes, I will make up for the lost credits once everything is back up and running.


I just checked back to the Collatz site -- no response at all again. That might actually be good news -- as for the past day or so the place holder saying 'server down, don't know when it will be back live' was showing.

The inference is that it is being worked on.

The latest Collatz update:

Collatz Status

1/23/2014
•All hard drives replaced
•Debian 7 installed
•BOINC software prerequisites installed.
•DOCSIS 3.0 modem upgrade - speed now 3-5 times faster
•Firewall upgrade (now uses uptables)

1/28/2014
•Get BOINC Source code
•Compile default BOINC server software
•Configure MySQL
•Restore Collatz database
•Write custom app to "undump" stats files back into database to get restore the latest user, host, and team stats
•Identify oldest non-complete workunit (a.k.a. don't allow gaps due to the lost WUs)
•Cancel all existing workunits (I am not going to manually create WU files this time.)


1/29/2014
•Compile all server daemons
•Compile OpenCL for CPU and GPU apps


Still To Do...
•Modify web pages with Collatz changes
•Verify all daemons and cron jobs are working properly
•Configure database backup and off-site storage
•Modify the BOINC scheduler for Collatz specific apps/plan classes
•Configure Web Stats
•Add the Collatz client apps (new solo apps for CPUs!!!)
•Test each app and platform
•...all the other things I haven't listed

Volpex ( http://volpex.cs.uh.edu/VCP/ ) hasn't had work for a while and now the website has been down for about 4 days. Does anyone know if the project is down permanently?

No, If I recall, one of the things that the admins posted recently was they are working on is moving the project to a new and better/more reliable server but were having a few bugs to work out.

It never has been at 100% up time even when work was available.

The site is showing signs of life. I must have missed this message:
Jan 29, 2014
We will be moving the hardware that supports Rosetta@Home on Tuesday, Feb 4th within the datacenter here at the UW. This will require that the entire project be taken offline for the duration. While we will try to minimize the down-time, we are planning for the system being offline from 0800 PST until 1500 PST on the fourth. -KEL & DOVA

On Seti's home page:

The machine that serves the boinc database crashed a few hours ago. The project is down until the database recovery is complete.

Oscar, the BOINC database server, showed as online when I checked, but it has been reported going up and down in the "Seti is down Cafe" thread in the Lounge forum.
