Hi,
I have 6 Computers here all running folding at home.
A couple of times I noticed the following peculiar situation:
2 Machines are both doing WU P5101R0C47G119 (CMF in water) Downloaded respectively February 8 08:34:48 and February 8 14:47:38
2 Other machines are both doing P2665R3C883G182 (HGG in water) Downloaded respectively February 9 03:44:05 and February 9 17:37:06
I've seen a significant drop in points / day lately, and according to the FAH stats I only have 3 machines, while I have 6. The other two are a Windows Client and a PS3 Client, they are both doing their own thing, the 4 I'm talking about are all Linux clients running on the same box in VMWare's
I think the FAH server may be thinking all those Linux clients are in fact the same machine instead of 4 separate ones. Anyone know how to make that clear ? I recently downloaded the latest upgrade to the vmware image from here : http://reilly.homeip.net/folding/vm.html
I think this situation arose around the time I did that upgrade.

Re: Machines doing the same job twice
Sounds like you copied the VMs, which copies the machine ID .dat file. With the same ID, Stanford servers DO think those are all one client. Delete that .dat file, and the work unit, and let it download a new ID and new work.

Re: Machines doing the same job twice
I did indeed copy the VM's. I deleted that .dat file but obviously that isn't enough so I gave them the good ole -oneunit and went from there as soon as they stopped to do it over again.
Apparently I overdid it, theoretically, one of the machines I didn't have to give a new number, but I did them all and now the report shows 7 machines in the last week.
It's more than three and yesterday showed 7K points so that seems on track to my average of 10K, and at least better than the 3K average I've been seeing lately.
Thanks a lot 7im.
