I'm getting some funky stuff when I pull up the F@H stats. New colors, insufficient data listings, among other things.

That's know as one really corrupted database.
Something is dying on my server and causing it to kernel panic every few days to a week.
Signs point to memory, but I already ran a ram test on it, and it came back clean.
Use of the affiliate links when making purchases brings me that much closer to a brand new server

Please post any problems you see so that they can be corrected.

Resetting the stats gave me the second highest rate on the team...I like that

Oh, but one problem I still see is that the comparison graphs are listing a person who doesnt exist and boy does he have an erratic submission pattern...

See the news posting.

I'm afraid repairs will take a bit longer to complete. It might be the weekend before everything is clean again.

I guess you guys realize that the dFold stats are still not working, right? Not like very many people use them anymore. Goes to show how important the reliability of the client software is to end users. Too bad, they had an interesting project.

During data checking on Saturday, I found useless data entries in nearly every team on nearly every project - except RC5. This is usually caused by a momentary glitch on the project server side, and happened at different times for different projects.

I removed bad data and sent nearly all teams back for reprocessing, which has not all completed yet. The dFold data parser still needs fixing, that is hopefully all that's left and should be done tonight.

A side effect of knocking redundant data out of the DB is that the DB size will decrease by a fair amount. This will speed up everything that is bottlenecked by DB (disk) access latency.

dFold stats should be unfrozen. SETI stats are frozen for most other teams, but not for MacNN. I'll look into that tomorrow night.

Are the D2OL stats still broken? I've been crunching for 4 days on it. I appeared on the stats on the first day, but haven't appeared on the list since.

I appreciate I joined around the time the stats disk was hosed. Will the stats machine pick me up again or does something need to be tweaked for that to happen?

D2OL stats appear to be fine. New data is being parsed, so nothing is being lost.

They are still catching back up to the present. I sent the stats back some distance into the past to reprocess the data. This should get rid of crash errors, and remove useless duplicate data entries.

Once the server catches back up to the present, you will reappear. The data timestamp can be found at the bottom of the colored QuickStats bar.

Well for what it is worth, you are showing up on the D2OL page stats. Reader set the time machine so far back, that I'm not even showing as active, and I am still #1 on the team for another day or two until Mikkyo retakes the crown. By the time the stats catch up, I may be knocked down a notch or two.

Welcome aboard, every bit helps. MacNN has just moved up to #9 overall in D2OL. We are averaging #6 on a weekly average.

d2ol stats are up to date.
If there are any other problems, please let reader50 or I know.

I can see myself on there now. My G3 ibook is slowly making its way up the pile.

OneMacGuy · Nov 28, 2003, 05:28 AM

The F@H and dfold stats are not updating again, I did not check the others. Sorry to bother you on a holiday weekend, but I thought you might want to know.
