03.03.2020: Somewhere around 20.02.2020 another database crash occurred. This time we did not loose any data (all was backed up). After a disk swap, most of the functionality has been restored. I am still slowly working on restoring the science result database and work generator.

30.01.2020: Unfortunately, the database here suffered a corruption and crashed. Fortunately, the backup was less than 24 hours old, so we did not loose much. I am attempting to recover recent results that are lost in database from uploaded files. While this process is running, scheduler will be disabled and you may see strange numbers in the server status page. After that process is complete, you will have time to upload results in progress. The results that are definitely lost will be resent.
No other results were lost.

I've got the xml files prior to the crash if you'd like to use them to restore credits ??

Dear Bok. I do not think I need the xml files. Most of the credit has been granted for recovered work. And the rest would be just too much hassle to import.

I don't have the fastest computers, so that represents over a day's work wasted.

On top of those results that my computers were crunching while your website was unreachable, I have no idea how much, if any, credit I lost from tasks returned before the crash.

Dear Bok. I do not think I need the xml files. Most of the credit has been granted for recovered work. And the rest would be just too much hassle to import.


This user feels quite differently. I'm probably not alone.

i agree with Mike - i've lost 142 units that were in progress during the crash, but uploaded complete, and a similar number that were uploaded prior to the crash which were awarded credit but that has not been recredited. So that doesn't seem like "most of the credit" to me.

Really ?

Perhaps he could just create another sub-project with a credit total, eg Lost credit, could have a best guess at the value of credit lost at each database crash and add it on. Obviously don't need to add it to the project total credit or export it, it's not like we are keeping track of sub-projects properly.

Thanks for that information fro Free-DC!

That's only a fraction of the problem, however.

In addition to the loss shown on Free-DC, there's also the tasks processed while the website was down, plus all tasks returned after the last stats dump but before the website died.

All told, there's three time frames for lost tasks:

1) Returned after T.Brada's last database backup and before the last stats dump. This is the number shown on on the Free-DC website. In my case, this is 3139 credits.
2) Returned after the last stats dump, but before the T.Brada website went down. There's no easy way to determine what was lost here, although an examination of some of the logs on in the BOINC client could let you tell approximately how many tasks were returned from that host computer during this time frame.
3) Returned (or, more accurately, attempted to be returned) after the T.Brada website came back up. This is relatively easy to determine from the main client BOINC log as it tries to return the tasks, as in my earlier post. That was about 5100 credits in my case.

So the missing credits for me are:
1) 3139
2) unknown
3) ~5100

In my case, I happen to know they were all SPT tasks, but it would be much more complicated had I been running a mix of tasks.

Multiply this by the number of active users on the system.

I took a couple of screenshots yesterday to preserve the event for a bit longer.

First the major losers, shout out to emoga who only made 4th but if he could add on the million plus points he lost at QuChemPedIA yesterday would be the biggest loser...



At least some did get their credit back, the major winners being...

If you know the extent of the losses, is it not possible to apply a manual correction?

All tasks that did *exist* (unsent, received or validated) in the database at the time of last backup, and were *uploaded* at some point, are, or will be validated and credited. Some of that process is still running.
From tasks that were not in database at time of backup were mostly lost. Some were validated tho.

I am sorry for your loss. But accidents happen.
Ps: the database wasn't actually running from sd-card, like I joked on discord.

Ok .. I have to stop this project. My current tasks list says I have 53 pending and none in progress. Yet I am actively working 23 units, have 3 ready to start and 2 ready to report.

Something is still very wrong.

When the database crashed in the Stop@home project, nothing was restored.
All results were lost.
The project was stopped.

Tomáš Brada has a backup.
He is working on resuming normal project work.

Please, be patient!

I think that what I done, is the most I can do. The lost or aborted results and credits are lost.
Still, it was less than 22 hours worth of data. What if it was three days? I think my time will be better spent on getting those incremental xtradb backups to work, which would allow faster backup period (perhaps twice a day). And loading more tasks from the new search interval.

If somebody really wants their credits back, go ahead and make a program that turns the xml stat files (diffs!) into sql update statements.

The project will be operating normally from now. Hit the update button in your manager, abort ghost tasks if any.
