hello Science friends, I have just upgraded my BOINC version to 5.2.13. and donloaded and started World Community Grid with the AIDS research. My other projects are climateprediction.net and Einstein@home. Yesterday I tried to download new LHC work units from the server and got the message: *** 27.01.2006 11:52:20|LHC@home|Message from server: No disk space (YOU must free 3775.8 MB before BOINC gets space). Review preferences for maximum disk space used. 27.01.2006 11:52:20|LHC@home|Message from server: No disk space (YOU must free 3775.8 MB before BOINC gets space). Review preferences for maximum disk space used. *** I increased my BOINC profile disk space to 14GigaByte and the LHC part usable to 70% but the message keeps repeating. My memory use at moment is (with the ressource percentage in parentheses): climateprediction.net 4,35GB (34,29%) Einstein@home 25,59MB (17,14%) LHC@home 6.36MB (20.0%) World Community Grid 40,58MB (28,57%) There should be more than 9Gigabytes free. On my hard disk there are in total even more than 20Gigabyte free. So what can I do to give LHC the disk space it needs ? thanks for help Jochen from Germany |

GENERAL PREFERENCES: -------------------- Disk and memory usage Use no more than 14.0 GB disk space Leave at least 0.1 GB disk space free Use no more than 75.0% of total disk space Write to disk at most every 300.0 seconds Use no more than 75.0% of total virtual memory Network usage Connect to network about every (determines size of work cache; maximum 10 days) 1.0 days Confirm before connecting to Internet? (matters only if you use a modem) no Disconnect when done? (matters only if you use a modem) no Maximum download rate: 100 KB/s Maximum upload rate: 20 KB/s Use network only between the hours of Enforced by versions 4.46 and greater (no restriction) Skip image file verification? Check this ONLY if your Internet provider modifies image files (UMTS does this, for example). Skipping verification reduces the security of BOINC. no ************************************************************* LHC@home preferences -------------------- Resource share If you participate in multiple BOINC projects, this is the proportion of your resources used by LHC@home 70 Color scheme Tahiti Sunset Miscellaneous Should LHC@home send you email newsletters? yes Should LHC@home show your computers on its web site? yes Default computer location home Edit LHC@home preferences Separate preferences for home Resource share If you participate in multiple BOINC projects, this is the proportion of your resources used by LHC@home 70 Color scheme Desert Sands |

After you changed the preferences did you update it in Boinc?? |

After you changed the preferences did you update it in Boinc?? Yes, the same result: *************** 28.01.2006 01:27:15|LHC@home|Message from server: (there was work but you don't have enough disk space allocated) 28.01.2006 01:27:15|LHC@home|Message from server: No disk space (YOU must free 3770.6 MB before BOINC gets space). Review preferences for maximum disk space used. *************** Could it be a problem with the other projects ? I will try to stop World COmmunity Grid and try again in some days. thank for your efforts Jochen |

Try reentering the leave at least preference. Be sure to type the leading zero. Sometimes the number is misinterperated if it begins with a decimal point. BOINC WIKI BOINCing since 2002/12/8 |

hello friends, it is workiong now. I had erroneously set the Diskspace in the "Home profile" to 1GB. thanks for your hints Jochen |
