Folding credit

[tolien]

Finished 3 units, and all before the last FAH site update, but it's still showing only 1 finished, and only showing the credit for that one too.
Something wrong?

FAHlog.txt for the last unit shows:

At this rate it's back to BOINC for me.

That log file looks just fine to me. Do you have the logs from the ones that you're not seeing for credit?

 

[tolien]

That was one of them, the other one looks like the log got nuked.

 

[Stan_Lite]

Happens to me regularly. I think there must be a fair delay between harvesting the results and updating the stats page.

Nuked? The logs stick around for a long time, sir. If it's not in fahlog.txt, check fahlog-Prev.txt. That is where old logs are moved when the active log file grows too large. Looking at the machine I'm on I have about a dozen WUs still in the log so unless you deleted it, the logs of interest are about somewhere.

 

[tolien]

unless you deleted it

I did.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Bah!

Well I guess we should just cross our fingers and hope they show up. FAH's record-keeping is very good and not much falls through the cracks. It's even possible that they'll get credited the next time they run the recrediting script.

 

[tolien]

Wait and see then

I've had the same before - should be credited by the hour after or at busy times can be up to 3 hours quite easily, at the very worst which we had recently it was taking a couple of days but that was only temporary.

As Billy said they are very good at making sure you get the credit - even when things go wrong they can still run re-crediting scripts which go through any missing work and give the points back (it's like getting a tax rebate )

If you ever want to check up on a completed WU then check back through the logs and find the project number along with the Run/Clone/Gen numbers and the admin at the folding forums will look them up for you
