I keep on getting this message: 3/10/2011 11:43:35 PM | BURP | Message from server: SunflowerBlender needs 217.37MB more disk space. You currently have 22433.63 MB available and it needs 22651.00 MB. I don't seem to be able to change the BOINC settings to make it happy. I've allow BOINC to use 90% of the disk, leave 0.1 Gb free and everything I delete just adds to the amount of space not available to BOINC. Any suggestions? nick ![]() |

How much free space do you have? How much space do you have in total? |

According to BOINC I have: 38.1 used by BOINC 21.9 free and available to BOINC 12.40 free and not available to BOINC 171.65 used by other programs My preferences are: Use at most 60Gb in total Leave at lease 0.10 Gb free Use at most 90% of the dis ... Use at most 90% of the swap file My computer reports I have 34Gb free of 244Gb. My BOINC version is 6.12.34 (x64) Every time I free some space the free and not available figure increases. The preferences don't seem to be making any difference. It's very confusing and means that I can't get any BURP work. nick ![]() |

Something about those numbers doesn't exactly add up, but here you have it: 90% - (244-34)/244) = 4% disk space left for BOINC, which is not enough for 22GB workunits. You're not hitting the "leave at least X free"-limit but the "use at most Y%"-limit. |
