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

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

Disconnect when done?

Maximum download rate: 100 KB/s

Use network only between the hours of

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

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.

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