More checkpointing is great! But... this is a bit extreme. My write to disk at MOST every... setting is at 1800 seconds. My harddrive will never be able to spin down and go in to power saver mode all night long if the checkpoints continue at this pace.

Hmm ok, i'll look into this.

Ya, this afternoon I've been running two tasks for about 4.25hrs and I've got 450 checkpoint taken messages in my messages tab. Sometimes showing two checkpoints on same task within the same second.

Task names:
test_cc_1_8_nocst4_hb_t342__IGNORE_THE_REST_2G0QA_13_6824_1_0
test_cc_1_8_nocst4_hb_t332__IGNORE_THE_REST_1X7OA_6_6823_1_0
(both are running v1.50)

so i take it this test is coming to an end?

Don't rush it! There were still 1000 failures and 3000 successes. I'm not sure what time the last of the DB packaging problems were cleared through. But, you've barely given any time for a 24hr runtime to complete.

Greg. Typically, they release a few tasks, if no clear problems like the DB packaging, and successes start coming in, then they release a few thousand tasks over the course of a day or so. And then, when they've made the final adjustments, explained most of the reported errors and confirmed the results, then they do a final push of 10,000+ tasks (again over the course of a day or two) to really seek out those rare and intermittant problems. THEN send it over to Rosetta.
