Keep getting the following error message "WU download error: couldn't get input files..." when trying to fetch work.

Here is just one example for host 50692

Just checked the Servers Status Page and everything is RED or ORANGE except Data "data-driven web pages" and "vote_monitor"... So I will assume that is why I am getting the errors.

Probably not, the left column of Server Status here is perpetually uncertain. There's no good evidence why those WU files cannot be found, but my guess is they went missing when the WU storage was migrated to a new server.

As noted in the No deletion of old files for a while thread, the issue appears to only be on tasks which were split in January. That batch of reissues seems to have all been sent, the current S@H v7 tasks being assigned are original replication tasks created March 22 which are OK.

So we finished the work split March 22 and are now getting reissues again for unresolved WUs. Some were split in January as before, but there are also some originally split 2 February getting the file not found errors, my host 10490 got 18 in sets of 2 before running out of quota. There are more, but after those reissues we'll start on WUs split April 13 which ought to be OK.

The reissues will of course show up again in another 2 months or so. There will be several more cycles before the error limit kills them, unless some kind of script can be run to check the database against what WU files actually exist.

                                                                  Joe

Thank you Joe for this update.

Some my hit their error count faster if they get assinged to hosts with the much too short runtime estimates.

EDIT: on second thought, I didn't see that yet for MB, only know it for AP. For MB I am down to quota of one due to download errors.
