Einstein Down

[UBT - Halifax-lad]

Here is the most recent info from Einstein

Einstein@Home experienced a major air-conditioning failure about 24
hours ago and will be off-line for at least another 24 hours.

(Apologies for mis-using the mailing list, but this is currently the most
effective way to 'spread the word').

Cheers,

Einstein back up now

Oh hell - wonder how many Einstein WU's "Russia" will get on their stats in the next day or so.....lots I guess !

Get ready to see a sudden "back-pedalling" with regards to us creeping up on them - we got to within 339,465.63 credits (as at 9pm tonight !!)

regards,

Einstein@Home STATUS

[Last update: Thu Dec  7 19:42:12 UTC 2006]

Einstein@Home will be offline until further notice.

Two disks have failed in the main file server.  This server uses a raid6
array so we cannot afford any to lose any more disks.  The project will
remain offline until the raid array has time to rebuild.

More news will be posted here as it becomes available.

Thank you,

The raid array should finish rebuilding at about 15:00 UTC but the project
will be kept offline to upgrade some hardware in the fileserver that should
increase the reliability.  We will try to have E@H running again by 22:00 UTC.

and it's up again...

December 9, 2006
The Einstein@Home project was offline again from ~19:00 Dec 7 to ~01:00 Dec 9 UTC. The project was shutdown as a precaution while a raid array was rebuilding in the fileserver. During the downtime the fileserver was upgraded to help prevent future failures of this kind.
