Have to rant here, no one else will care except you guys!
I run a pproxy at work, and since the firewall is invulnerable, I shuttle pproxy blocks back and forth from home. To keep the commotion to a minimum, I bring in enough blocks at a time to last about a week. I'll have one buffer being worked on and one more in reserve.
I wasn't working last Friday or this Monday, meaning I could expect about 20K finished blocks when I came in on Tuesday morning. I took the finished work home and flushed it from there like usual. Checked stats on Wed. morning - only about 2K blocks out of the 20K got credited! OK, I thought, maybe flushing took so long it ran past the cutoff time. (I wasn't watching). I'll check again Thurs. (today), I thought.
Took another 5K blocks home last night and flushed them.
Now I see the rest of the 20K blocks did NOT get credited, and neither did the 5K I flushed last night (except for the 200 my home machine did)! 25K blocks gone.
The only thing I can figure is the blocks were reissued and someone else already did them. If I wasn't getting ANY blocks credited I'd be more suspicious, but the little bit my home rig does IS showing up. I am sure I read somewhere that they don't reissue blocks for six weeks, and I didn't have them nearly that long.
OK, I will have to change my plans so I don't fetch the reserve buffer until a day or so before I need it. That's a pain, but it's better than expecting to see hefty stats and getting squat.
Thank you for enduring my rant. I feel better now.
[update] I see the stats for Thursday are now up, and the blocks still aren't credited. Crap. [/update]
