Today there was a weird smell of tuna in the server room and shortly after 14:35 UTC the main server suddenly went down. Quick tests showed that the 12V pin voltage on the PSU had dropped out of acceptable range. Half an hour later the system was back online with a new power supply installed.

No data was lost during the incident and (since we aren't rendering anything right now) the impact on the service has been minimal.

Hmmm... Tuna fish? I gues Danish "magic smoke" smells different than the stateside version. Must be the difference in voltage/frequency.

Any idea when work will be sent out again?

Any idea when work will be sent out again?

Well, we need some new submitted sessions at least for this.
The current, still running ones are only missing some small frames, when I see this right, and this wouldn't be enough to satisfy all crunchers here. ;-)

unfortunately in order to submit a session you need to have credits right? and to get credits you need to do work, which results in this circular logic :(

Maybe some kind of supply/demand logic could be introduced. If no renders are queuing, they could cost little/no credits, and if there are a lot of work units, it could cost more credits.
