  • Unsent units! DF

    Again taken from KWSN!

    You may have several unsent protein structures in your folding directory. This could be a result of the computer not being shut down properly and the client didn't get a chance to send in the units. To find out if you have unsent workunits, look in the folding directory for something like this:


    If you have then this is what you do.

    Shut down the client.
    If it doesn't already exist, create a plain text file called 'filelist.txt'. If it's already there, edit it.
    Get a list of all your *.val.bz2 and *.log.bz2 files. These come in pairs. If you just have one or the other, they cannot be uploaded and should be removed. The fold*.log.bz2 contains a number in its name. Find the *.val.bz2 file with a number just slightly bigger than this (usually within 5000 or 10000) and definitely smaller than the number in any other log.bz2 file. This is a file pair. You must pair up all your orphaned files and anything left is cyber-trash and must be deleted or ignored. Only file pairs will be uploaded successfully.
    Now simply add the names of the file pairs to filelist.txt, one per line. The ORDER is important - first the fold*log.bz2, then the paired *.val.bz2 Continue to do this for all the pairs. It does not matter which pair you add first, second, etc., only the ordering within the pair is critical. Make sure the file names are all correct.
    If you want to upload more than 6 pairs, make sure you are using the -df option in foldit.bat. Otherwise everything exceeding the 6th pair will be deleted. This is intended behaviour.
    Lastly, if you just created filelist.txt, add a final line which says:

    CurrentStruc ####

    Where #### is some number slightly larger than any other number in the filenames in this file but less than 10 million (it is arbitrary). If you are editing an existing filelist.txt, this line should already be there - make sure it is the last line of the file. Your file should look like this:

    Now save filelist.txt and exit, then restart the program. If you did it right, your files will be uploaded and removed from your machine!
    According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless...
