| 1) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC 6.10.58 released to public
Message 36086 Posted 16 Dec 2010 by Friedrich S. |
Since I started installing BOINC 6.10.56 and 6.10.58, I noticed that after installation/update of these versions of BOINC my computers show up multiple times in my host list: Host List 1 Host List 2 The split hosts are split exactly along projects, and one by one the projects are moved to the newest host. This has never happened before with any update of BOINC, but it has happened on every host that I updated to 6.10.56/.58. It also is not restricted to one stats site, as you can see from the two links above. In addition, I find the very same effect every time I hook up the host to a different network (home, hotel, friend). The respective host immediately branches of a new ID, which over time collects all the projects again. Until I hook it up to a different (or the old) network, causing it to split again. What is most annoying is the fact that it is impossible to really get any idea of a hosts performance because it is split into 2 or even three IDs. And since all the projects are migrated to the latest host ID, I always loose my history (like "Best 5 days"). This issue has been discussed at BOINCstats, but no solution yet: http://boincstats.com/forum/forum_thread.php?id=5552 http://boincstats.com/forum/forum_thread.php?id=5758 So the fact that - this never happened with any host at any BOINC update before, - this happened to every host I updated to 6.10.56/.58 exactly the moment I updated it, - this happens again every time I switch networks, and - this is not restricted to a single stats site make me believe, this is a BOINC bug. Or maybe I am doing something wrong here? I would appreciate some advice. Friedrich |
