Right you are, JC.

Rosetta@home has experienced a horrendous hardware/fireware failure. We essentially lost the SAN partition upon which the project was running! The newest edition of our SAN hardware was shipped with a firmware revision that contained an insidious bug - one which caused the new SAN disks to vanish after roughly 45 days of service. We - or rather I (KEL) - apologize for the inconveinence, lost time and lost effort that you have endured during our outage. We know full well that your contribution hinges on the understanding that we make maximum use of your valuable resources - that we not waste your time, CPU cylces or good humor. We are planning to express our disappointment to our vendors in clear terms, specifically siting the importance of this project to our research effort. We'll keep you abreast of the outcome.

Project is still down.

I just picked up Rosetta@Home as my backup for SETI... and now it is having its own problem!

I should probably stay away from any DC projects or else I'll kill it

Whew...all my machines are flushed and refilled now :thumbsup:


That sucked!!!

Yeah, I had SetiQ SetiDriver & SetiSpy running back in the good old days.
We all could share WU's back then.

Yep - why I remember the days when... Ah you young-uns just don't know how good you got it... Why, we had to go out & chop up our own WU's if'n we wanted to keep warm by the CPU!!

lol

I remember the old commandline SETIQ ,I bet most of ya didn't use that!

Wth is a SAN partition??

Well, I remember running the old cmd-SetiQ, since I needed to run multiple instances of it to handle multiple seti-accounts. :beer:

As for SAN...
NAS is Network-Attached-Storage, so SAN should be... uhm... Storage Attached Network....

Oh, my guess was nearly correct, Storage Area Network...

Basically, both NAS and SAN is lot's of hd's that is being used to store wu-files and results, and other things...
