What to do after a power cut
(Message 35103)
Posted 25 Sep 2008 by Kevin Rigotti Post: My part of town had a power cut today at 1126. I do have a backup from 0630 this morning. Should I restore anyway, even though everything seems to be running normally, just in case something was corrupted? Or, is the software resilient enough to untidy shutdowns that I should leave it alone? Is there a way of telling if any data has been damaged? |

Posted 6 Sep 2008 by Kevin Rigotti Post: If you make big automated backups of everything while BOINC + model are running there\'s no guarantee that the BOINC folder contents (or BOINC6 Data folder contents) will be restorable after a crash. I think that ghosted backups made with BOINC running are more likely to be restorable. Vista\'s built in backup does a shadow copy so should be OK (?) I admit I hadn\'t read the README\'s (thanks for the reminder). It was only 3 days in, so I wasn\'t too attached to it. |

Posted 5 Sep 2008 by Kevin Rigotti Post: Another computer with the same characteristics as yours (i.e. Intel/Windows) has gone further in that work unit: 7605224, so it probably isn\'t an ice world. That isn\'t, of course, to say that the graphics aren\'t icy blue! A normal crash will do that as well - the Defender crash may have done for the model. Sadly, I have only ever done a weekly backup at home - now that I\'m doing this it might be a good point at which to change to daily - so as it\'s probably broken I\'ll abort the stuck task now and free up a chunk of CPU for a new one. |

Posted 5 Sep 2008 by Kevin Rigotti Post: Possible iceworld, but may be more broken than that. Had a Windows Defender crash yesterday evening and a subsequent boot problem until full power off and repairs by chkdsk, so the data files may have been compromised. Model time and date shown as 00/00/0000 00:00 ?! Result ID:http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=7605217 Timestep: 154081 s/TS: 1.43 Colour: Blue CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz [x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11] No overclocking. I\'m happy to let it continue over the week-end to see what happens. If it still looks stuck on Monday I\'ll abort it. |
