You have now discovered a very nice side benefit in that if you lose work through a disk crash, it seems like the server will replace it when next the two sync up with each other. Did it only work for EAH and not Seti? I would have thought that all projects might be taking advantage of this.
And yes, it was a nice touch not to send expired work :).
Gary, when David and I added this to the BOINC scheduler, we made it an option. It's enabled on E@H but apparently not on S@H. It does make some additional database queries, so David may have it turned off to prevent additional strain on the BOINC database. E@H has a very high horsepower server for this, so it's not a problem for us.
