Due a win10 issue identified now, the VSS service which has restarted the PC automatically and in hope that is fixed with a MS solution found in the web the database crashed before I could do a backup. As always a good timing and sadly lost around 13h of work (results which were already done are not affected).

You will get a lot of download errors but can be ignored while they were already processed.

As always let me know how many credits you have lost and post it in the other thread.

All latest win10 updates were also installed.

Iam very sad about the current situation, it was not the first time related all biggest theads to the new OS.

The MLC@Home BOINC server is literally running on a Raspberry Pi.

Have you considered setting up a database replication server to protect against problems like this? If he can run a whole server on a Raspberry Pi, you might be able to run a database replica. It might be worth looking into as a low cost reliability upgrade.

no, if the windows is running stable then there is a minimal chance for a crash.
Only more backups will help.

I have 59 WUs in progress (Riesel Base - short). They were all finished and uploaded before db crash. Host id 200830.

To reduce the error rate max_error_results and max_total_results were set to 5 from 10 for all WUs.
