Please Flush Your Old Tasks

Please make sure that you have flushed all of your old tasks. There are still lots of results from old tasks coming in, and none of them will be accepted by the system.

To flush, open the application ("Show Agent"), stop all tasks, and then flush. You can then do a manual update.

2006 年4月 04 日
请清空你的旧任务

请确保你已经清空你所有的旧任务。仍然有许多旧任务的结果被上传，而且他们将不会被系统接受。

清空任务方法，打开客户端("Show Agent")，停止所有的任务, 然后清空。然后手动更新。

Raising Maximum Queue Size

Would like to begin raising the maximum queue size. Whilte there are still a few issues to address, they're mostly superficial (e.g., target images in the client).

I'd like to bump up the queue size to 1000 tomorrow, and then back to 2000 on Monday if nothing blows up.

Let me know if you have questions or concerns.

提升缓存大小上限

想要开始缓存大小上限。 虽然仍然还有一些界面问题需要解决。(比如，在客户端中的目标图标显示问题)

我想在明天把缓存大小上限提高到 1000 ，然后，如果一切正常，在星期一将提高到 2000 。

如果你有疑问或建议，请告诉我。

Member Services Server Down

The member services machine is down, and this is negatively affecting just about all aspects of the project. Unfortunately, fixing the problem requires attention from someone physically onsite at TRI, so we may be stuck until Charles can get to it.

It seems that uploads and downloads are still happening, so please keep crunching away. Your contributions will be reflected in the stats when everything is running again.

There has been a hard drive failure on the MySQL server that holds all the node and user registrations. I am running integrity checks and recovery ... this is exceedingly slow.

Member Services服务器挂了

Member Services服务器挂了，而且它差不多影响到了项目的所有功能。不幸地，只有TRI的硬件维护人员才能修复此问题，因此，我们可能要等到Charles回来才能修好它。

似乎上传和下载仍然正常，因此请继续计算。当一切恢复正常时，你的贡献将会在统计中得到反映。

MySQL 服务器上已经有一个硬盘挂了，致使所有node和用户的注册无法进行。我正在运行磁盘检查和恢复程序……速度极慢。

Update - Member Services

There has been a hard drive failure on the Member Services machine, which is the cause of the problems we are experiencing in, well, memeber services and stats updates. Charles is working to get the server back to a functional state. Running integrity checks and recovery is a slow process, but we'll keep you updated when we have more information.

Charles continues his attempts to revive the member services machine ... We should know more today.

As it has come to pass, the RAID controller has failed on the MySQL box, taking one drive with it completely and damaging the mirror drive's file system. Repairing this has become dicey as honestly, I need to rebuild the server from scratch and then attempt to recover the data either from the drive that needs a file system repair or - shoudl that fail - from a data extract that is a bit of date.

So, 2 new drives are en route with the controller. I will build a new server and see what we can do. Worst case scenario is we all get new node numbers  . Best case scenario is that we get back up and running just fine .... just not for several days.

更新 － Member Services

Member Services服务器上的一个硬盘坏了，这是导致这次问题－Member Services和统计更新挂掉的罪魁祸首。Charles正在努力恢复服务器。完整性检查和恢复非常慢，但是我会随时通知你最新的消息。

Charles正在努力修复member services服务器……今天就会有结果。

如大家所知，MySQL服务器的RAID控制器挂了，损坏了一个硬盘，以及镜像系统的文件系统。老实说修理起来很难，我需要完全重建服务器，然后尽量抽取恢复一些数据或者修复文件系统 - 不知道行得通不。
因为，控制器有2新的路由驱动器。我将建一台新服务器，看行得通不。最坏的情况是我们要给所有的结点计算机重新分配新的结点号。最好的情况是，一切永久恢复正常……不是恢复几天而已。

Statistics are Back

I have deployed a temporary version of the statistics processor which works around the absence of the Member Services database. The software has run and updated all stats since the crash on Wednesday, and it will continue to run until we know more about Charles' recovery efforts once the new hardware arrives. At that point, we'll re-evaluate based on the information we have.

Obviously, this doesn't address the inability to access accounts and do new registrations, but you should at least be able to continue downloading tasks, uploading results, and traking your statistics, hopefully with a tad more confidence than the past few days have afforded you.

A couple of other caveats also apply. First, because of the way the statistics processes and stores results, there may be a delay between the time a node is credited with results and when those statistics are added to the corresponding user and team numbers.
Secondly, due to this unforeseen extra development effort, the  posting of the Hall of Fame from Phase I will be delayed, perhaps until next week some time. Don't worry, though, all of those stats have been saved and do not rely on the member services database.

统计恢复

我安装了一个临时版本的统计处理程序，代替缺失的Member Services数据库。软件已经开始运行了，并更新了从星期三崩溃起的所有统计数据，它将继续运行直到新硬件到达，Charles将数据库修好。那时，我们将根据我们现有的信息重新统计。
很明显，现在还不能访问帐户和创建新帐户，但您应该至少能继续下载任务，上传结果，并且更新您的统计，希望您能耐心等待系统恢复。
提醒大家一下。首先，由于处理统计和存放结果的方式发生变化，也许在结果被给予积分后，要过一段时间相应的用户和队伍统计数据才会增加。第二，由于这次未预见到的额外事故，阶段I的光荣榜，或许要推迟下到下星期某个时候发布。不要担心，所有统计数据已经保存好了，并没有随member services数据库而去。

Please Flush - Avian Flu Target Updated

The Avian Flu target has been updated to correct the problem with the target display area in the client GUI. Not perfect, but better than before. To be sure you get the new file, please flush your old tasks:

1) Set the client to offline (Second button from the left);

2) Stop tasks (Button on the far left);

3) set the client to online.

4) Flush all tasks, confirm in the popup window;

5) Press Manual update.

请清空缓存 - 禽流感目标更新
禽流感目标已经更新，以解决在客户端GUI界面显示区中目标的显示问题。还不是很完善，但肯定比以前有所改善。为了确保您得到新文件，请清空您的老任务:
1) 设置客户端为离线状态(左边第二个按钮);
2) 停止任务(左端按钮);
3) 设置客户为在线。
4) 清空所有任务，在弹出窗口中点击确认;
5) 按手动更新。

Plans for This Week

Since Member Services is down, I plan to leave the system as-is for now, meaning no increase in queue size, etc. I have some of the old targets ready to deploy with the new candidate libraries, but I'm going to hold off on those for a couple of days, too, until we see what happens with the new hardware.

2006年4月10日
本周计划

因为Member Services挂了，我计划暂时将系统保持现状不动。这意味着缓存队列大小暂时不会再增加，等。我有一些为老目标准备好的新候选数据，但我不得不延期两三天发布他们，直到新硬件到位。

Emergency Reduction in Maximum Queue Size

TRI is currently having some networking issues, which are being investigated. To help lighten the load and speed the process, I have temporarily reduced the maximum queue size to 250. I'll keep you updated.

紧急减少最大缓存队列的大小
TRI当前网络有一些问题，具体原因正在调查中。为了减轻网络负载，加速计算速度，我临时地将最大缓存队列大小降低到250。我将及时告诉您最新消息。

Member Services Available

The Member Services hardware has been replaced and the member data has been restored from approximately 1/24/06. At this time, member services, including registration, should be available to you again.

Because of the loss of data, you'll need to re-add any nodes that you added to your member account between 1/24/06 and 4/18/06. You may notice a temporary reduction in the number of candidates you are credited with in the project statistics until you have taken this action.

Nodes CREATED after 1/24 are no longer in the member services system, but they ARE included in the node statistics. I will look into adding these most recent nodes back into the database, but the safest thing is probably for you to re-create the node (re-install) in order to get it into the member services database. If this poses a particular hardship for you, let me know, and I'll see what I can do to help.

Regardless of all of this, all results have been processed, so none of the scientific data has been affected. Also, Phase I (Hall of Fame) statistics will not be affected by this situation.

Thanks to Charles and the Sengent/Clarifi folks for handling most of the gnarly hardware and database issues in getting us back online.

Member Services恢复

Member Services的硬件已经更换，而且成员数据已经恢复到1/24/06。现在，Member Services，包括注册，再次向公众开放。

因为数据的损失，你需要将在1/24/06～4/18/06之间添加入你的用户帐户的计算结点再次添加一遍。要不你会发现你的项目统计的数据会少很多。

在1/24之后加入的结点不在Member Services系统里，但是他们的统计数据还在。我将会设法把大部分的最近加入的结点，恢复到数据库中，但是最安全的方法，是结点重入(重新安装客户端)Member Services数据库。如果你不想这么做，请告诉我，我会尽量帮助你的。

此外，所有的结果已经被处理，因此，没有任何科学数据受到影响。同时，阶段I(光荣榜)的统计数据也不会受到影响。

感谢Charles和Sengent/Clarifi的员工为修复超烂的硬件和数据库所做的努力。

译者注：D2OL终于完全恢复了，兄弟们抄家伙，准备上哦！

"Lost" Nodes

After working through several iterations of statistics-file manipulations, I think that restoring the nodes that were CREATED after 1/24 and before 4/5 programatically is not pracitcal at this point. However, I HAVE been able to successfully add a couple of the nodes in "by hand", so I think this is the approach we'll have to take. It may take a little longer to get everything back, but is less risky. So, what I need from you, for any node that you created from 1/24 to 4/5, is

1) Node ID
2) Member name
3) Registration e-mail

Please send this information to me in a private message or in an e-mail message to ahughes@childhooddiseases.org.

If you've already created new nodes, that's fine, and you can continue to run with the old nodes. To recoup the statistics from your "lost" nodes, though, please send the information requested above.

Note that I will be unavailable on Friday evening, so these updates probably won't be started until Saturday (4/22).

“丢失的”节点

在清理了一些重复的统计文件之后，我认为现在就修复在1/24～4/5之间注册的节点是不现实的。然而，我已经成功地“手工”把一些节点恢复了，因此，我想我们必须采用这种方法。可能花稍微久的时间才能把一切恢复，但是这样比较安全。现在，我需要，你在1/24～4/5注册任何的节点的：

1) 节点编号
2) 用户名字
3) 注册电子邮件

请在论坛发短信息或发电子邮件至ahughes@childhooddiseases.org把以上数据发给我。

如果你已经注册成了新的节点了，也行，你可以继续和旧的节点一起运行。但如果你想恢复“ 遗失的”统计数据，请把上面所需的数据发给我。注意：星期五晚上我不上班，因此，这些更新或许要等到星期六才能进行(4/22)。
