After more than 2 weeks of downtime, we started recovering after the disk crash, the web site is up, but there will be no WUs until further notice.
.
Dear all,
Below are the issues we are still having because of the server crash:
1. User profiles: your pictures and avatars are lost
2. Users who joined our project during the week between 25th of July to the 2nd of August are likely to be lost. We encourage you to sign in again, as if you are singing in for the first time
3. Credit: credits got lost, but we will try to restore them from the BOINCstat and alike external sites who may have a more recent copy
4. New WUs will not be invoked until we restore some part of our development environment, which also disappeared. Anyone still having our WUs executing, please delete them, unfortunately the output from the last batch of ~350,000 jobs is lost.
We are working on a decent backup plan and simulate failures and restorations, as well as fortify the hardware to make sure that the future failures will not cause such a loss of data and long downtime.
Credits for all the users, teams and hosts are recovered up to July, 25th, thanks to the webmaster of BOINCstats.com.
