1) Message boards : Number crunching : Move Boinc & Seti to new partition.... (Message 1632253)

I can guess at the answer, but will ask the question anyway.

Is there any way to move Boinc to another drive/partition without having to finish all tasks, report them, un-install & re-install specifying the new location?

I ask as I recently upgraded my C drive from a HDD to a SDD. I realise it should take many decades for the read/writes from Boinc to degrade my SSD, but as Seti/Boinc do not need the access speeds a SSD gives It would make a little bit of sense to shift them to disk drive and off the solid state drive, and reduce the wear of the SSD as much as possible.

Thoughts, comments and criticisms welcome.

Don't know about Windows, but in Linux I can attach whatever partition I want to to the path of the boinc folder. As long as you move the boinc folder as a unit and change the commandline options of boinc.exe to use the new location as the home for it, you should be able to put it wherever you want. I've even transfered a boinc folder to another cruncher and had him finish some tasks for me before.

Boinc uses relative path and not absolute.

I'm having the same problem in Ubuntu Jaunty with nVidia driver 190, cuda lib 2.3.

I also tried it with the supplied cuda libs. No difference.

When I did get one to crunch, it used the CPU instead and gave a bogus result.

African elephants only have four teeth to chew their food with.

Don't know if this has been posted, but
The elephants don't die of old age. They die of starvation or malnutrition when their last set of teeth fall out.
Also, I think they have 8 teeth to chew with. There are 4 in use on the top and four in use on the bottom. The tusks are also technically teeth.

I have 3 complete files that are just sitting on my computer. Is this normal? Shouldn't they be uploading?
