What is going on in DPAD?

[petrusbroder]

In the passed 18 hours I have lost 1 073 735 Mpts. Amd.borg and many other crunchers lost also a lot - as if all the points for the last months have been eliminated ...

Any info?

Edit: Checked the forum @ DPAD: no answers, only questions. It seems that this has hit all the crunchers - and that many crunchers have "lost" several months of work.

Edit:: all the Mpts are back! but it'll takle one or two more days before the stats sites are!

Yeah I wanted to do the stats and saw it also.. Hopefully Stephen will fix things up soon.

Update

The scary-looking crash that just happened was because the red line above was missing when I rearranged the script, meaning that the counters weren't started at your previous total before adding more files. So anyone who sent any in apparently lost all their work. I was a little concerned at this point in case it really HAD deleted your files (this happened before).

One advantage of the script rearrangement is that it now works more efficiently and that could let me get back to 1-hourly updates instead of the 2-3 hourly ones right now.

Should be worth it to get rid of the silly backwards-counting stats counters though.

Task scheduler was set to restart it if it ran for more than 10 hours, I've just switched that off, so unfortunately it's ~48 hours from this morning...

Looked at the stats - got all my "lost" poins back ... and it seems that the passed days of crunching have been added correctly!
I know that Johan (amdxborg) will have quite some hard time fixin' the stats!
It is OK with me if the stats come when the situation has stabilized and not when the stuff is up in the air as it is now!
