I have a system (https://asteroidsathome.net/boinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=510228) , that is running AVX tasks at the moment.
It shows 87 valid results sofar, but for 70 of these results I got zero credit.
I checked a number of these zero credit tasks, and found my wingman also received zero credit.
What is the reason for this?

Hallo all,

The IBM System x3550 M4 has 8 disk slots (2.5") . The Server Status page says there are 7 disks in a RAID5 configuration, so I assume there is 1 boot disk. (which is already a bad idea: you should have the system disk in RAID1 (mirror) configuration). Currently there are 7x 600GB disks in RAID5. You can replace those with higher capacity disks, but (again I assume) in the current configuration that will be a major job. There is a solution though: zfs. Invented by Sun; originally a abbreviation for Zeta Byte File System.
It is supported in Linux. You should really read yourself into this! It is (simply said) a combination of a volume manager and (software) RAID (and a lot more).
You can (on the fly) replace your disks with higher capacity ones, and in the end have a higher capacity RAID5.
Of course the first time you implement this is also a major job.

For the 'bigger' disk, as the previous poster mentioned: Donation?

Regards,
Ruud

do we have Server/Disk failure(s) ??


No, I think it is as the message says: "File upload server: Server is out of disk space". Meaning: disks are full.

We have to wait for the administrator(s) to fix this.
