Information from error.log

Howard -

Could you explain what these lines mean?

ERROR: [001.001] {foldtrajlite.c, line 740} Too many files to send, some have been lost
ERROR: [000.000] {foldtrajlite.c, line 5687} Too many files buffered

Both of those showed up in the log of a client. Does that mean that it will just quit when it's saved up too much data? If so, then that's bad for me. I only get a chance to check the client once per week (if I'm lucky), and the upload requirements for the client are too great for the dialup connection.

It means that you need to stop what you are doing and make sure that you have enalbed the "-df" switch on ALL clients.

Although, I thought this was fixed in the case of no-net clients and uploading more than six data sets.

Regardless, enable the -df switch (large buffering) and you won't have this problem again.

What MAD-ness said. Additionally, I think there is still a hardcoded limit of 2500 files even with the -df switch IIRC. So, with a standard packet size of 5000 structures, that makes 1.25 million structures, but you could of course tweak the packet size a bit if you do no-netting for a prolongued period of time.

I use dfGUI to run the client, and have it set to 10000 structures per file, with the no-net option on. Does the -df do something different? I honestly don't know if -df is on or not...

But it was kind of annoying to see that I had lost almost 5 days of production on that box because it had too many files....

On DFgui, the checkbox that says "increase buffer size" corresponds to the -df option. It should be checked by default.
