In looking back through my computer's "All Tasks" listing, I find two WUs listed as downloaded on 7 June at 11:30:54 UTC. However, I can find no evidence that my computer actually received these WUs. There appear to be no related files on the hard drive, and I think the BAM window Tasks page has never shown them. Perhaps they were lost in a failed file transfer when the database was experiencing those intermittent hang-ups; I do recall at least once aborting tranfers that had been hung in transfer for a few days. The WUs are

7478009 and 7469512
(host 1095225, task IDs 12952638 and 12952639)

These WUs have due dates of 6 Sept 2011 and 19 May 2012, resp. Eventually they will time out, but meanwhile I see that the other machines that these WUs were assigned to have failed on computation errors so these WUs have been sitting in limbo for awhile. If there is a way to reissue them to someone before they time out here, they'll get done sooner - especially the 2012 WU. I'd be happy to take them on reissue if that can be arranged.

(P.S. Thanks for getting the data base working again and everything synchronized. Everything is going smoothly now.)

Lost WUs don't get re-issued, except by the method of
minimum quorum
initial replication
max # of error/total/success tasks
