Noticed this morning that all three of my CentOS 5 Linux servers had not retrieved any work lately. One of them even had up to 95 attempts to get new work. Anyone else seeing problems like this with their LinSMP's, or have I just got an isolated case here?
 
I had 1 finish about 3 hours ago and one finish about 20 minutes ago and both grabbed new work right away.
 
This is what I'm getting in the log file. I can understand that it isn't seeing anything on port 8080 as I'm behind a firewall, but it should be wide open on port 80, especially since I type in the URL on a browser and it gives me the OK message...

Hmm... I haven't had any SMP issues, but my GPU client did have trouble getting work last night. In my experience, there's nothing you can really do but just leave it, and eventually it'll grab a unit.
 
try removing the -smp 8 from the arguments, it might user a different server for the smp 8 work verses the usual 4 thread work units. I may be very wrong here though. :)

The -x flag doesn't change the units, it just changes the number of cores that the client will use.
 
Don't know what happened, but I checked them a few minutes ago and it looked like they started picking up work again around noon today. Double checked all three of them and they all were cranking out frames, so maybe we finally caught up with VJ's work load and they had to create some new units. ;)
