前些天，也许大家还记得，美国伯克力大学的分布式计算的任务中出现了一个新的计算宇宙演进的任务：cosmology@home。我也下载并运行了。今天发现已经计算好的两个结果老是发不出去，于是就尝试登录其主页，发现也打不开，于是在 Google 上搜了一下，发现了一个论坛里有如下对话，我把它翻译了一下，发上来供关心的人了解了解。

[quote]From the Cosmology Admin....
We had a sudden unforeseen hardware failure Friday night - we have been working to get the server back up and running. Since it is the week-end it is harder to get replacement parts, so the system may continue to be down for of a couple of days before things will be back on track.It would be great if you could get a message to our users about this - we were trying to think of a way, but I could not even post on my webpage because it is running on the same server that is hosting cosmology@home.All the best,Ben[/quote]
从 Cosmology 管理员：星期五（爆炸头注：11月9日）晚上我们遇到了一个突发的、不可预料的硬件故障——我们已经着手进行使服务器恢复工作的努力。由于是周末，故得到备件的难度增加了，所以在所有事情步回正轨前系统可能会持续当机几天。如果你能把这个消息传达给我们的用户们会非常好——我们曾想拿出解决办法，但我甚至不能在我的网页上贴一条消息，因为这个网页同样运行在这个运行着 cosmology@home 的服务器上。祝好，Ben

[quote]Maybe it would be nice to set up a temporary web-server just to show this text.I got the feeling that my crunching work was all for nothing......Hope they fix it soon[/quote]
也许建立一个只为发布这条消息的临时网页会好一些。我感觉我所有被毁掉的工作都得不到任何效果……希望他们能尽快修好。

[quote]The downtime is due to a sudden motherboard failure. We purchased a replacement server and were hoping to be operational last night. There has been an additional delay due to driver problems during the OS installation on the new server. Scott has been working to resolve this full time. We hope to be up and running later today.At this point we do not seem to have had any data loss, since we used a redundant filesystem, in addition to daily backups. Once our old server is fixed, it will be added as secondary server. Then we'll have a fully redundant system, which should continue to work even if we have a similar hardware failure as the one which caused this downtime.This has been our first extended downtime since the beginning of the project and we intend to make it our last.Thank you for your patience and continued support -Ben Wandelt[/quote]
停工是由于突发的主板故障。我们购买了一个替代服务器并希望昨晚能正常操作。但是在新服务器上安装操作系统的时候驱动问题造成了额外的延误（爆炸头注：为什么不试试驱动之家？）Scott 已经全身心地着手解决这个问题。我们希望今天晚些时候能运行起来。要指出的是貌似我们没有弄丢任何数据，因为我们有一个冗余的文件系统，还每天进行备份操作。一旦我们的前服务器修复，它将被添加作为第二服务器。然后，我们就拥有了一个全冗余系统，然后在即使遭遇到类似于这次停工的肇因时仍能保持继续工作（爆炸头注：原来他们原先并没有做冗余系统呀，现在知道后悔了吧）。这是我们开始这个项目以来第一次长期当机，我们打算让它成为最后一次。感谢你的耐心和继续支持——Ben Wandelt

[quote]A temp website is up with news: http://www.cosmologyathome.org/[/quote]
一个临时网站已经设立并发布新闻（爆炸头注：还是没法访问）。
这个网页在这里：http://cn.boincstats.com/forum/forum_thread.php?id=2660
