We have started the copy of the download directory to the Snap Appliance 18000.
2004年8月10日
我们已经开始把下载目录拷贝到Snap Appliance 18000。

August 8, 2004
The servers are back up as far as receiving results but not as far has distributing new workunits. We are simultaneously clearing out the old download directory and preparing to both it and the upload directory to the Snap Appliance, along with the DB. Allowing result uploads will ultimately speed both the deletion of old workunits and results and the granting of credit. Credit for the backlog of results will start being granted once we move to the Snap Appliance and turn on the hierarchical directory structure.
2004年8月8日
服务器正在把所有已接收数据备份，并不再发放新WU。我们正在清理旧下载目录，准备Snap Appliance，和DB数据库。允许结果上传会刺激WU和结果删除及credit评估。一旦我们转向Snap Appliance并打开分层目录结构，已备份结果的分数将会发放。
August 7, 2004
The scheduling server is down while we work on a download storage problem. This may take a day or so.
2004年8月7日
调度服务器当机了，我们还要处理下载存储问题。这大概需要一天时间！

August 6, 2004
We developed hierarchical directory structure to get around the big directory problem (see August 4, below). This solution is backward compatible with all current work units. It is being tested in alpha now. Next week it will go to beta and then to public. We also have a tool to distribute all recent results into the new hierarchy. When that tool is run, credit will appear for all of these results. The credit appearance will be spread over a number of days. In other news, we have the SnapAppliance 18000 configured. It shows a 10x speed up over the software RAID we are now using. We are awaiting a UPS for it.
2004年8月6日
我们开发了分层目录结构以避免大文件夹问题（详见下面8月4日新闻）。这个解决方案使用于以后的所有数据。现在正在进行alpha测试。下星期我们会进行beta和公测。我们同样使用新设备把近期的结果送入新结构中。之后，会为这些结果发分。这要用几天时间。另外，SnapAppliance 18000已经配置好了。它的速度是我们现在用的软RAID的10倍。我们正在给它加装UPS。

August 5, 2004
A misconfigured scheduling server ran for about an hour this morning, misinforming users that they had to upgrade to version 4 of the BOINC software. This message was in error - please remain with version 3.
2004年8月5日
今天早上调度服务器出了约一个小时的错，它会错误的通知用户把BOINC软件升级到4.x版。这是错误的消息－请继续使用3.x版。

August 4, 2004
We discoverd that the sheer number of files in the upload directory was killing NFS performance for the file_upload_handler. We started with a new empty upload directory and the file_upload_handler performed much better. The rate of connection drops on the upload server dropped to zero (most of the time). Of course we need to get all those older results back into play somehow. We are preparing our new SnapAppliance 18000 to host the database. We need to fit it into the power load in our already fairly full data closet, configure the DB volume, run some tests, and then copy over the DB files. We will post the progress as we go.
2004年8月4日
我们发现上传目录下文件数目过多。这严重影响了上传的网络性能。我们新开了一个空的上传文件夹以提高性能。上传的掉线率迅速降至0（大部分时间是）。当然，我们还要赶快处理以前上传的结果。我们正在准备安装新的SnapAppliance 18000来管理数据库。我们要把它加电，装入数据阵列，设置DB容量，进行测试，复制相应的DB文件。在此过程中，我们会贴出相应的进度贴。

August 3, 2004
While the project is up and functioning normally, the database and web servers are overloaded. Because of this you may have noticed difficulty in transferring work and loading certain web pages. We're tuning these servers and trying to find the bottlenecks now.
2004年8月3日
项目重新启动，一切功能恢复正常。但是数据库和网站服务器超载。所以你可能会发现打开网站页面速度很慢。现在我们正在调整服务器，试图找到瓶颈所在。

August 2, 2004
The project remained down all weekend, but we are back up now. To add insult to injury, the entire lab lost network connectivity to the rest of the world for a few hours this morning. In light of the unexpected length of this last outage, we are looking into mechanisms that allow us to keep certain parts of the project up while others remain down for repair.
2004年8月2日
整个周末项目都出于当机中，但我们正在努力恢复中。雪上加霜的是，今天早上整个实验室失去了与外部世界的网络连接。考虑到这次始料未及的长时间当机，我们正在寻求一种机制，以使当项目其它部分正在修理时，项目的核心部分仍可以继续工作！

July 30, 2004
The project is *still* down. The database cleanup for the bug found on July 28 is going much slower than expected. We hope to have everything back up later today or early tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience!
2004年7月30日
项目仍然处于当机中，清除数据库中于7月28日发现的漏洞的速度比原先预期的要慢很多。我们期望在今天或明天早晨项目可以恢复。对给您带来的不便，我们深表歉意！

最新版SETI@BOINC内核程序（不是BOINC），可能会导致WIN 9X系统崩溃。
官方建议9X系统用户暂时停止SETI项目，参加其它项目！

January 16, 2005
We are having network problems. Until we track it down servers may be slow and some services will not be running.
2005年1月16日
我们遇到网络问题。在问题解决之前，服务器会很慢，而且有些服务会关闭。

In preparation for shutting down SETI@home Classic(in about 1 month, hopefully)
we're trying to make sure that SETI@home Classic accounts
are linked to the proper SETI@home/BOINC account.
This is a bit complicated because of email address changes.
See our current transition plan.
2005年3月17日
我们准备关闭SETI@home(希望能在大约1月内完成)
我们正在确认SETI@home账户是否与SETI@home/BOINC账户信息一致。
因为电子邮箱地址改变了，所以这有点复杂。
详情见我们的[url=http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/transition.php]过渡计划[/url]。

March 17, 2005
We have cleaned up our account database,
merging accounts with conflicting email addresses.
This may cause some users to get 'Invalid or missing account key'
messages. This is easy to fix;
instructions are here.
2005年3月17日
我们已经清除了我们的账户数据库，把电子邮箱地址有冲突的账户合并了。这可能导致一些用户得到'Invalid or missing account key'消息。
这很容易修复；

Our Internet link through Cogent went down at around midnight UTC on March 18/19. It is still being looked at by Cogent. In the meantime, data service (upload/download) is unavailable. We do not yet have a projected time to fix - it could be a couple of days. As always, we encourage participation in other BOINC projects. More info and updates in Technical News

故障还要持续几天，鼓励大家参与其它boinc项目。

Our lab will loose connectivity with campus for 1 hour tomorrow, starting at 14:00 UTC. This means that this web site and the project scheduler will be off the air.
2005年3月30日
明天从14:00 UTC起我们实验室要和学校断网1小时。这意味着网站和项目调度程序要当掉。

We have released version 4.10 of the setiathome application for windows. This release contains a bug fix that should resolve around a third of the instances of graphics not displaying. Because all clients will be downloading the new application, data service will be slow for a while.
2004年4月1日
我们已经发布setiathome 4.10 windows版内核程序。本次发布的版本可以减少约1/3的无图像显示的问题。因为全部客户端将自动下载新应用程序，数据服务器可能会变慢。

April 2, 2005
We have temporarily taken down 4.10 until we can understand why some people are reporting problems with the graphics even though graphics was working for them with 4.09. 4.10 should have only increased the number of people who were able to see the S@H graphics, not decrease.
2005年4月2日
我们暂时取消了4.10，直到我们解决了一些4.09图形工作正常的人报告的新版本图形工作不正常的问题。4.10本应增加能看见S@H图形的人数，而不是减少。

There are reports of a connectivity problem between some parts of Europe and our Cogent facing server. We are making inquires. For discussion of the problem and a suggested workaround using proxies, see this message board thread.
2005年4月17日
据报告说欧洲的部分地区无法连接我们的服务器。我们正在调查中。您可以到论坛讨论此问题，我们建议您使用代理服务器来连接，详情见[url=http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=13867]论坛帖子[/url]。

April 18, 2005
We have confirmed that there is a known network peering issue between Cogent (our ISP) and OpenTransit (France Telcom) that is affecting connectivity for many participants in Europe. Campus has opened a trouble ticket with Cogent but we are unsure that this will result in a fix. We will post news items as we learn more. Many thanks go to the posters in this message board thread for their diagnostics and work arounds.
2005年4月18日
我们已经确认，Cogent(我们的ISP)与OpenTransit(法国电信)网络连接出现故障，以致许多欧洲的兄弟无法连接到服务器。校方已经与Cogent进行了交涉，但具体的恢复日期还是未知之数。我们会把最新的消息及时告知大家。十分感激那些在[url=http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=13867]论坛帖子[/url]发帖，帮助找出问题所在的兄弟。

April 20, 2005
There is an excellent document about the European connectivity issue along with work around proxy information [url=http://www.iantighe.com/boincers.htm]here[/url]. Appreciation goes to setiathomer tigher for putting together this page and to many others on the messages boards for contributing information.

We will be having a several hours long outage tomorrow for a full database backup. Exact time and duration to be determined.
2005年4月21日
明天我们将让项目暂停几小时，以进行数据备份。具体停止时刻与时长待定中。

In memorium: Philip Morrison. Professor Morrison pioneered the concept of interstellar communication in 1959, creating the field of SETI. Phil will be deeply missed by the Berkeley SETI team.
纪念：Philip Morrison（1915-2005），Morrison教授于1959年率先提出了“星际间交流”的概念，开辟了SETI这一片天地。 伯克利SETI小组将深深缅怀着他。

We will be having a general outage tomorrow to do a database backup and to reinitialize our replica database server. The replica became corrupt last week due to a disk space issue. After this is done, we should not have to have outages for backups. We will start at 17:00 UTC. The outage will last several hours.
2005年4月27日
明天我们将例行维护，备份数据库，调试备份数据服务器。上星期由于磁盘空间问题，备份服务器当机了。修好后我们以后基本上都不需要停机进行数据备份了。我们将于17:00 UTC开始维护，可能要停几个小时的机。

April 29, 2005
The DB reinit went fine. But then we had a problem with a recently installed software firewall. It was working when we left the lab yesterday but cut off the data service interface a short time later. We have switched off this firewall for now. Software firewalls are now required for all machines by campus policy but we will get an exception until ours is working. Note that we are, and always have been, behind a hardware firewall that works great. Given the length of this outage, service will be slow with lots of connection drops until the backlog is cleared.

2005 年4月29 日
DB 服务器重新初始化后运行良好。 但随之产生了一个问题, 有关最近安装的软件防火墙。 当我们昨天离开了实验室时它正常工作,  但稍后即断开了 数据服务接口。 我们现在关闭了这个防火墙。 软件防火墙现在必需为所有机器设置校园策略, 但我们将得到例外情况直到能正常工作。 注意, 我们总是处于正在运作的强大的硬件防火墙之后。 鉴于这次备份时间的长度, 服务器将有点慢, 直到大量积压的连接请求被完成。

Our Cogent link has been down since around 9:00am PST (16:00 UTC). Data servers are currently unreachable. The problem is currently being diagnosed. Update: The latest word from Cogent: "There's currently a UFO (Unlimited Fiber Optics) issue that is affecting multiple customers that we are working as quickly as possible to resolve. It is possible that this issue is causing this particular outage. There is currently no ETA on resolution for the current issue." Update 2 (23:30 UTC): Cogent has isolated the fault and has dispatched a person to fix it. We hope to see it fixed soon.
2005年5月3日
我们的Cogent链接大约从9:00am PST(16:00 UTC)后掉线了。现在无法连接数据服务器。正在查找问题起因。
更新: Cogent的最新的解释: "出现UFO(光纤断裂)问题，影响到许多用户，我们尽快会解决。它很可能是导致这个问题的元凶。现在仍没有有关此次事件的明确解决方案。"
更新2(23:30 UTC): Cogent确定了断点，正在派人修理它。我们希望它能很快被修复。

May 4, 2005
Our Cogent link came up around 01:30 UTC today. The data server is still clearing the backlog so things are slow.
2005年5月4日
我们的Cogent网络链接服务商在今天大约01:30 UTC恢复正常了。数据服务器正在清理积压任务，因此响应会比较慢。

May 7, 2005
It looks like our Cogent link is down again. Campus has been alerted. The data server is unreachable until this is fixed
2005年5月7日
我们的ICP Cogent又挂了。校方已经发出通告了。在问题解决前，数据服务器将无法访问。
