Adul-
First let me tell you I normally have nothing to do with stats. I have investigated this to show an example. I would like to thanks Daa for his help getting these numbers.
on 2/2 you flushed 121,098 blocks according to stats. In the first few hours of 2/3 you had alot of flushes that looked like it came from your big flush of 134,974 the day before which you said.
on 2/3 here is the breakdown of workunits you sent under tncrc5
WU's * # of 2^28 = BLOCKS
235 * 1 = 235
263 * 2 = 526
236 * 3 = 717
204 * 4 = 816
163 * 5 = 815
159 * 6 = 954
80 * 7 = 560
1012 * 8 = 8096
1 * 12 = 12
2 * 17 = 34
1 * 19 = 19
3 * 32 = 96
2359 WU's total submitted 12871 Stats units (blocks)
Now whats interesting Is the followig emails are retired to tncrc5 and they submitted work on 2/3 (yes there are a few other emails but they didn't submit anything)
adul3 1484 WU's
damuall 47 Wu's
That total ends up taking WU's total to 3884 with the following break down
WU's * # of 2^28 = BLOCKS
1601 * 1 = 1601
276 * 2 = 552
253 * 3 = 759
253 * 4 = 1012
169 * 5 = 845
171 * 6 = 1026
79 * 7 = 553
1075 * 8 = 8600
1 * 12 = 12
2 * 17 = 34
1 * 19 = 19
3 * 32 = 96
3884 WU's total submitted 15109 Stats units (blocks)
This is right on what stats says for 2/3.
So what we know
You said you flushed 134,974 Blocks on 2/2
On 2/3 you say you sent 2596 Blocks
Now what we learned from stats
You received credit for 121,098 blocks on 2/2
You received credit for 15,109 blocks on 2/3
We Use the numbers add credited blocks together 121,098 + 15,109 = 136,207 Blocks
From your numbers we add 134,974 + 2,596 Blocks = 137,570 Blocks
(137,570 - 136,207) / 137,570 = .01 * 100 == 1% block loss. sure this isn't perfect, but I'm not exactly sure where you are getting your numbers exactly. Providing proxy logs and client logs could help confirm these numbers but i currently doen't have time to spend more time on this. There could be a mistake in your numbers. And I didn't go back and do exact numbers on 2/2/01. who knows maybe some of those blocks will show up tomorrow or they were dupes.
The point is Numbers are close but there is no 13,876 difference missing from 2/2. Sure they didn't show up all on 1 day, but they show up. Sure there is some loss, But with out your logs there is no way to tell.
Now to your reflush of 160K blocks the following is a wc on the master Dupe logs from today. I didn't get fancy, but this (lines words char)
Lines Words Char Email address
25471 50942 1986797 tncrc5
6523 13046 502271 adul3
You had 25,471 lines of dupes in our logs. This is not 25,471 blocks, but 25,471 lines of dupe messages each line is a dupe entry. Could be anything from 1*2^28, 2*2^28, .... , to 32*2^28.
Basickly this is alot of dupes entries for 1 person.
Its getting late and I hope this makes sense I will try to explain things others don't understand.
Jarhead-
I do not know what you wanted to accomplish by this statement.
"Yeah, he probably is, and doesn't give a rats *ss. He got CC'd on this, probably basking in the glory of some interview, feeling pretty damn smug."
But I would like to let you know that I did not appricate it at all. You know nothing about me or my personal life. And if you think for a minute that I don't care about our users you are 100% wrong. Sure I do not spend my time reading every single topic in this forum, I prob miss things, but I try to browse the topics and find things that are of interest.
Thanks
paul
