[volunteergrid2-l] Problems

[Shawn Willden]

I use it for my backups, but I also have constant struggles with upload
availability.

I think part of the problem is that the configuration which I suggested to
everyone here just doesn't work very well.  Allmydata.com always used
3-of-10 encoding, and it seems like everyone else other than those of us on
VG2 are using that or something similar.  The math says that something like
10 of 15 is just as reliable and more efficient... but the software just
doesn't seem to work well when you do that.

I'm considering trying a 3-of-10 setting.

Oh, and somebody (I know I've said I was going to, many times) needs to
write an automated uptime checker that e-mails owners of nodes that are
unavailable.  It seems that some people just can't keep a node up without
regular nagging.
