Trying to get more work units I received the message that there isn't enough disk space to accommodate the necessary work. I have over 16GB free and I've looked at the online preferences and modified them, but it still says (pie chart) that I have 0 free space for BOINC to use.

Solution anyone???

thx,
Plenty

Have you updated since the modifications?

BTW:
A good manual for Boinc is Paul D. Bucks BOINC Powered Projects Documentation and his FAQ therein.

Disregard this question, I guess it takes quite awhile to propagate the changes to user systems after updating the preferences. Hmmm, sounds like a really good argument for local preferences over web based...

Didn't realize there were any modifications, I'll d/l it now.

thx

Aah, sorry if I used some wrong wording, but I meant your modifications, that have to be told to your puter through (manually) update.

Local preferences are good, if you just ahve 1-2 puters with regularly personal access by you. It would work fine with me. But if you have a big farm, it's easier to have the prefs done with the next web-access.

I had done several updates, but none of them applied until about the fourth one. Regardless, the older version of BOINC is now processing. I installed the manager assuming it would integrate with the original version, but it didn't. I've tried attaching it to a project, but nothing happens, further it's stuck on Always Run. What have I missed?

If I understand it correctly, did you installed v4.25 on top of an old version?

What was the old version you had?

Read the News at the homepage
Have a look at the Technical News
Look if your question is not answered at the Boinc Wiki

Best greetings, Thierry

> What was the old version you had?


4.13

I solved my problem by uninstalling the old version and then repairing the new version, so all is well now.

Thanks to both of you for your help.
