Message 3650 - Posted: 19 Nov 2005, 12:17:48 UTC

My Athlon 64 X2 was happily crunching away on Rosetta work units, until last night. Now when I connect to the server, it says now work sent, there was work but you don't have enough disk space.

When I go to the disk tab, it says 8.94 MB. My preferences say 'Use no more than 100 Gig, I have 320 gig free on the hard drive.

What do I need to do to get more work units?

Thanks!

Go to the Rosetta home page and log into your Your account. In the Preferences section, go to General preferences. Check your Disk and memory settings. Click on the thumbnail and the enlarged image to see some of my settings. Rosetta has used less than 20 MB on my computers.

Thanks, I have done all that.

I attached to predictor and it does the same, with a little more info. It tells me that I only have 100 meg free for boinc. It is trying to download 17280 seconds of work.

Are the servers trying to download too many work units, and it runs out of space? Maybe I need to do a re-run of the benchmarks?

The is a linux machine, if that matters.

If you dont have any work units at the time.. try detaching and reattaching to the project. Not sure if it will help but I had do the same to get units on a machine running Seti and Rosetta together.

Ok, I tried that, still the same error.

I may just delete boinc on this box and try a re-install.

The box your having problems with is not sent to a different location is it? home, work or scool? If so you may try changing the preferences for all the locations and updating Rosetta again. Also in preferences check the "use no more than" that sets a percentage of space to be used.

No, this box is at home, with my others.

I blew away BOINC and re-installed, same thing, grrrrrrr...

This is my fastest box too, sitting idle...

Predictor still says "Not enough disk space (only 100.0 MB free for BOINC)." My preferences say to use up to 100 Gig.

Are there any linux gurus here?

hang on capnprob97, i'm searching threads on our home site, XPC

one of our big guns, Plum Ugly got his farm on linux (xandros) and somewhere put out a quick start guide and i think i remember reading the line you had to edit for the general preferences. it should be set down to maybe 2-3 GB

Ok, Thanks!

I'll read through the thread. What is weird, is it ran great for 2 days and then just stopped downloading...

there is an option in your preferences "leave at least X gb/mb", are you sure you have more left free?

Well, I threw in the towel for running BOINC on this box.

folding@home is happily processing on both cores as I type this.

Perhaps down the road, I'll give BOINC another shot on this box, it is running fine still on my Macs and Windows PC.

Thanks for all the help trying to resolve this!

There are three places you can limit the disk space. The most common "wrong" setting is in the % free one, as it is NOT looking at the whole drive when calculating the percentage, but only at the unused space. Give it "more" and I bet it works.

As an echo to this, the settings I have match Vester's fairly closely. Taking the three in order He has:

0.5
0.1
95%

I have

1.0
0.001
90%
