there is a backups script you can run...
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

OK, I haven't looked precisely where you are, but try typing this: ./fah6 -bigadv -smp 8 -verbosity 9What do I do next???
VM loaded, typed login and password listed then I get this---
root@FAH:~#
I guess I'm at step 9
Could be that the servers are down again? A couple of my standard clients are having issues as well.Yes it worked, but now it says ----
Could not get ID from server. Retrying...
It just keeps repeating!!
Before I completed my first 10, I was still able to receive and process -bigadv WUs. I didn't receive the bonus points yet but I did get the base points for the -bigadv WUs. It cannot be that but must be server or network related. I would just leave the client running, eventually it will receive something.I'm thinking that I haven't completed the first 10 with my passcode.
One thing to note about stability testing an OC, folding is more stressful than any stability test devised so far. What's worse is that -bigadv folding has been reported by many people that it is prone to more instability than any other kind of folding. I would do a test run of several standard SMP WUs on this system first.I'll look into it tomorrow when I get home from work! My i7 is oc'ed to 4ghz and primed with no errors for over 24 hours now!
Don't know, I don't run any VM's here as I prefer native OS installs.How does this distro compare with the EVGA VM for -bigadv folding?
So I should fire up the ./fah6 -smp 8 first for a few days to see how it goes?
Hmmmm, did you web into the VM and set your user id and passkey? If so, reboot the VM.
Have you specified 'big' wus in the linux setup?I guess I'll uninstall reboot and reinstall!

I uploaded a new image available via the guide. I added the things people asked me to add in addition to a few other things I was planning on adding in.
Here is a list of a few items updated:
- Auto-login so that you no longer have to type in the username and password on boot.
- For the web:
+ Added advmethods option.
+ Added verbosity 9 option.
+ Added static IP option.
+ Restore on boot option which does the same thing that is always enabled in 0.7 where data is backed up on shutdown and restored on boot. With this option, you can choose to enable or disable this feature. This is always enabled for Ramdisk.
+ Reboot option on Submit for web config so that you do not have to type in reboot in the console after config
+ Web based administration which is tied to a console tool called fahcontrol. These functions can be used in the web or console. This feature seems to work good for me, but may still need some work.
+ I was asked to add an option MPICH_NO_LOCAL which is reported to help with dual-core processor folding.
- Some file system optimizations that I hope will help with long delay after work unit completion. There is also the option to run the file system with nobarrier now.
- Kernel 2.6.33. This is still an rc, but has been running stable on my systems and has also given me a small boost in frame times over 2.6.32. Let me know if there are any issues with the new kernel.
The rest is in the ChangeLog.
I added an updated image to the guide yesterday that has the new 6.29 client since it is recommended for bigadv. The image is not all that different from the previous one. These are the other updates I made since then:
- Added options to the web interface for setting the workgroup and selecting the default kernel (Intel or AMD).
- Fixed the VMX for the memory allocation issue that I mentioned earlier when memory is set above 3600MB and also increased the default memory to 4600MB
- Changed to JFS for the file system
- Added support for as few as 2-cores via the web for SMP2
- Updated the instructions in the console including additional instructions for setting up HFM.NET
I saw the new version the other day. This version of the EVGA VM is a major update not only because of the new file system but also the additional memory support as you posted. With earlier versions, the full memory allocated to the VM wasn't used well. For example, I had 5500MB allocated on one VM and the client saw only around 4800MB. I just installed the new image and now the client sees over 5300MB. HUGE difference. The virtual HW version in the .vmx file has been changed from 6 to 7.linuxrouter's image has been refreshed again:
