OK, looks like a fix came in about 22 Jun 2013 7:30:01 UTC. Normal running has resumed.

Its happening again. I am getting 100% WU failures. Everything since 17:00UTC as far as I can tell. Maybe earlier.

Looks like we're out of work again.

my understanding is that the short deadlines are completely deliberate, and are a necessity for the project.

Are you sure about this? It's not really ideal for multiple projects so I don't think it is deliverate, maybe a bug?

I am completely sure. The one-day tat is both deliberate and a ...

It's interesting to me how I keep reading about folks having trouble getting eOn to play nice. It surprises me, because I have many hosts that do. In fact, sometimes I find that eOn doesn't take enough work. I sometimes wonder if people give a new project enough time to work out the kinks... I don't ...

Thank you for the update!

Work seems to come in clumps when calculations are done and the next batch is ready to be worked on. It makes it a bit of a lottery to get work. Try running another project at the same time as eOn to utilize the time best.
But then why does the server status say there are 3700 results ready to ...

I also was not getting any new projects for couple of days. I went into BOINC Manager and Reset Project, work units are now flowing once again for me.

I tried this but it only worked, temporarily, on a couple of my systems. Most still don't seem able to pick up any WUs.
Any Admins have ...

Seems like we're running out of work to do ... no new work for the past few hours.

It is odd because the server status says there is work available. But I don't seem to be getting any, at least on the machines I have checked.
update: OK, it looks like a few machines have gotten recent work, but ...

I'm not an admin, so I'm probably not be explaining this 100% correctly, but my understanding is that the short deadlines are completely deliberate, and are a necessity for the project. Since the calculations for the WUs done today are used in tomorrow's WUs, if they aren't completed in the short ...

I now have "Completed and Validated" WUs being sent back. Thank you!

Many of them have stderr that are something like this:
<core_client_version>6.12.34</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<stderr_txt>
error: bundle: cannot rename client.log to client_0.log: Permission denied
19:12:47 (4932): called ...

OK, I've got a whole pile of new failing WUs. Please make it stop!!
It's pretty ridiculous really. Within 10 min of the tap being turned on at around 18 Feb 2012 22:00UTC, the failed WUs started coming back to the project. Why not turn it off right away? Why keep it running for hours and sending me ...

I have literally hundreds of these WU that have failed. Fortunately most failed immediately or within 5 seconds. Only a handful ran for 5 or 10 hours before failing, so not a major computational waste, although I imagine a bit of bandwidth. I have a few that say they completed, but the error log ...

I am now getting really low points for the work my computers are doing on this project, compared to say, SETI, or WCG. By a large percentage. Perhaps something can be done to fix the issue. It's an interesting project you have here, I'd like to keep participating....
Can you please link your ...
