Hi, I have these messages : 26/09/2009 12:41:36|SETI@home|Message from server: Astropulse v505 needs 60.00MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 60.00 MB. 26/09/2009 12:41:36|SETI@home|Message from server: SETI@home Enhanced needs 32.00MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 32.00 MB. With 1,6 Giga free on the Boinc's disk (and another one of 150 gig). How can i fix this problem ? Thanks JB from Paris, France. |

What are your preferences for the "Disk and memory usage" section? Are you using the web-preferences or BOINC local preferences? If the latter, you will have to come up with the numbers from that one, as they override the web-preferences. Check your BOINC Data directory, see if you have a global_prefs_override.xml file. Open it with Notepad (through right click->Open with..), copy its contents and post them here, if need be. |

Ok Jord, thanks for your help, here is - mine preferences : Use at most 100 Gbytes Leave at least 0,01 Gbytes free Use at most 50 % of total disk space Write to disk at most every 60 seconds Use at most 75 % of page file (swap space) Use at most 50% of memory when computer is in use Use at most 90% of memory when computer is not in use - my global_prefs_override.xml file : <global_preferences> <run_on_batteries>0</run_on_batteries> <run_if_user_active>0</run_if_user_active> <idle_time_to_run>3.000000</idle_time_to_run> <start_hour>0.000000</start_hour> <end_hour>0.000000</end_hour> <net_start_hour>0.000000</net_start_hour> <net_end_hour>0.000000</net_end_hour> <leave_apps_in_memory>0</leave_apps_in_memory> <confirm_before_connecting>0</confirm_before_connecting> <hangup_if_dialed>0</hangup_if_dialed> <dont_verify_images>0</dont_verify_images> <work_buf_min_days>0.000000</work_buf_min_days> <work_buf_additional_days>0.250000</work_buf_additional_days> <max_cpus>2</max_cpus> <cpu_scheduling_period_minutes>60.000000</cpu_scheduling_period_minutes> <disk_interval>60.000000</disk_interval> <disk_max_used_gb>5.000000</disk_max_used_gb> <disk_max_used_pct>50.000000</disk_max_used_pct> <disk_min_free_gb>2.000000</disk_min_free_gb> <vm_max_used_pct>75.000000</vm_max_used_pct> <ram_max_used_busy_pct>50.000000</ram_max_used_busy_pct> <ram_max_used_idle_pct>90.000000</ram_max_used_idle_pct> <max_bytes_sec_up>0.000000</max_bytes_sec_up> <max_bytes_sec_down>0.000000</max_bytes_sec_down> <cpu_usage_limit>100.000000</cpu_usage_limit> </global_preferences> and, i post also my global_prefs.xml : <global_preferences> <source_project>http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/</source_project> <source_scheduler>http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi</source_scheduler> <mod_time>1253963435</mod_time> <run_on_batteries>0</run_on_batteries> <run_if_user_active>1</run_if_user_active> <run_gpu_if_user_active>0</run_gpu_if_user_active> <idle_time_to_run>3</idle_time_to_run> <suspend_if_no_recent_input>0</suspend_if_no_recent_input> <cpu_scheduling_period_minutes>60</cpu_scheduling_period_minutes> <hangup_if_dialed>0</hangup_if_dialed> <work_buf_min_days>0</work_buf_min_days> <work_buf_additional_days>0.25</work_buf_additional_days> <max_cpus>2</max_cpus> <max_ncpus_pct>100</max_ncpus_pct> <cpu_usage_limit>100</cpu_usage_limit> <disk_interval>60</disk_interval> <disk_max_used_gb>100</disk_max_used_gb> <disk_max_used_pct>50</disk_max_used_pct> <disk_min_free_gb>0.01</disk_min_free_gb> <vm_max_used_pct>75</vm_max_used_pct> <ram_max_used_busy_pct>50</ram_max_used_busy_pct> <ram_max_used_idle_pct>90</ram_max_used_idle_pct> <max_bytes_sec_down>0</max_bytes_sec_down> <max_bytes_sec_up>0</max_bytes_sec_up> <dont_verify_images>0</dont_verify_images> <venue name="home"> <run_on_batteries>0</run_on_batteries> <run_if_user_active>1</run_if_user_active> <run_gpu_if_user_active>0</run_gpu_if_user_active> <idle_time_to_run>3</idle_time_to_run> <suspend_if_no_recent_input>0</suspend_if_no_recent_input> <cpu_scheduling_period_minutes>60</cpu_scheduling_period_minutes> <hangup_if_dialed>1</hangup_if_dialed> <work_buf_min_days>0.1</work_buf_min_days> <work_buf_additional_days>0.25</work_buf_additional_days> <max_cpus>2</max_cpus> <max_ncpus_pct>50</max_ncpus_pct> <cpu_usage_limit>50</cpu_usage_limit> <disk_interval>60</disk_interval> <disk_max_used_gb>100</disk_max_used_gb> <disk_max_used_pct>50</disk_max_used_pct> <disk_min_free_gb>0.01</disk_min_free_gb> <vm_max_used_pct>75</vm_max_used_pct> <ram_max_used_busy_pct>50</ram_max_used_busy_pct> <ram_max_used_idle_pct>90</ram_max_used_idle_pct> <max_bytes_sec_down>0</max_bytes_sec_down> <max_bytes_sec_up>0</max_bytes_sec_up> <dont_verify_images>0</dont_verify_images> </venue> </global_preferences> "see you later" ;) JB |

<disk_min_free_gb>2.000000</disk_min_free_gb> I would say that's more than 1.6 GB :-) Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) SETI@home classic workunits 3,758 SETI@home classic CPU time 66,520 hours |

...Thanks for your help Jord and Gundolf. De rien. But you don't need to edit the xml file. Try Preferences... in BOINC manager, "disk and memory usage" tab. Gruß, Gundolf |
