I'd like to learn how to move the seti work directory that contains all of the files queued for processing, etc. to a different disk volume (windows 10). Can someone direct me to some sort of reference? I don't want to uninstall and reinstall, however. |

Easy. I assume you meant the /Data directory when you said the "work" directory. Just run the installer again and on the first dialog, you can change the location of the /Data directory. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Thanks! I don't remember the install step very well. But do I need to deplete the work already pending first so as to not lose it? |

To be slightly more explicit: Stop BOINC (Manager and client) Manually move your BOINC data folder to the new location Uninstall BOINC (this removes the program, but not your data or settings) Re-install BOINC, choosing the 'Advanced' option to tell it the new data location It should pick up where you left off, even including partially-crunched tasks. |

Thanks for the explicit directions Richard. I sometimes forget not everyone has been at this that long and needs some hand-holding. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Yup. Easy as punch. Worked like you said. So thanks! |
