Anyone else getting this? P.S. i've got 11GB free. I'm going to update BOINC as i'm running 5.4.11 but never had any problems before, and only had around 3GB free until a week or so ago...

Last modified: 18 Jun 2008, 19:53:39 UTC what task is causing this? Sorry for the cryptic post - i was at work. I was getting the 'There is work but you don't have enough disk space allocated.' message so I don't know what tasks were causing it. I upgraded the BOINC client and it downloaded some work fine. I'd hate to think anyone with an old client won't be able to get work though. This is the computer that was showing the problem if it's of use?: https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=207627 ID: 53789 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

MCMINE rosetta@home 19/06/2008 18:50:32 Message from server: No work sent The disk is small (1GB compactflash card) but it's never had problems before, and has ~350MB free, and the BOINC settings are: Leave at least: 0.00 GB free (also tried 0.01) Use at most: 10GB Use at most: 100% so it's not a problem with those settings. It must be the disk space requirements on the jobs in the queue??? I'm freeing up some disk space in the mean time so it'll pick up some work, but this might be one of the reasons for the project's falling RAC. ID: 53839 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

We can reduce this once our minirosetta database cleanup routine is fixed. ID: 53853 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
