Message 15984 - Posted: 3 Jan 2007, 12:20:06 UTC

I get this message from the LHC server:

03.01.2007 13:16:13|lhcathome|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user
03.01.2007 13:16:13|lhcathome|Requesting 16492 seconds of new work
03.01.2007 13:16:17|lhcathome|Scheduler RPC succeeded [server version 502]
03.01.2007 13:16:17|lhcathome|Message from server: No work sent
03.01.2007 13:16:17|lhcathome|Message from server: (there was work but you don't have enough disk space allocated)
03.01.2007 13:16:17|lhcathome|Message from server: No disk space (YOU must free 1737.3 MB before BOINC gets space). Review preferences for maximum disk space used.
03.01.2007 13:16:17|lhcathome|Deferring scheduler requests for 1 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds

I have set this preferences:
Disk and memory usage
Use no more than 8 GB disk space
Leave at least
(Values smaller than 0.001 are ignored) 0.1 GB disk space free
Use no more than 80% of total disk space
Write to disk at most every 60 seconds
Use no more than 75% of total virtual memory

The free space on the disc is >21 GB and the only bigger thing is climate prediction with a usage of 2.44 GB.

Now what is the problem here?

I had the same problem with linux boinc 5.7.5 with 19 Gb free, set to use no more than all of it,leave less than none free, 100% 100% 100% .I ended up going back to windoze on that pc, which I definitely don't recommend ;)

Very interesting. What BOINC Client are you using? Can you switch to the Disk Usage and tell us what the BOINC Client says there?

I'm using BOINC client version 5.7.5.
Here is the disk usage report:

Ulrich Metzner, what's your total space on your disk? Maybe the "use no more than 80%" is the cause.

The total size of the partition is 60 GB.

Here is the disk usage report:



looks good to me...
No clue other than suggesting the 5.8.0 client: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_5.8.0_windows_intelx86.exe

Have you tried to move some data off the partition and check what boinc does?

Some points to consider that commonly get overlooked:

Have you recently changed your settings on any of the projects (the most recently updated prefs get used) or on your account manager (if you use one)?

I would suggest double-checking where your prefs are being loaded from by looking in the "Messages" pane.

(I had a similar issue with WCG and freaked out when it asked for 17.5 GB only to find the prefs were not being loaded from where I thought they were)
Don't get distracted by shiny objects.

The only thing changed was, that i had set the project to no more work last year before christmas. I simply reenabled LHC to get new work and the error occured. I have absolutely no idea what to do...

Im not having any problems with cc5.8.0 so it might be worth changinging to that client and maybe that will jog it back to life.

But as POV pointed out, the ' Use no more than 80% of total disk space' might be the problem. When I compare your settings to mine :

Use no more than 5.0 GB disk space
Leave at least 0.1 GB disk space free
Use no more than 95% of total disk space
Write to disk at most every 60 seconds
Use no more than 90% of total virtual memory

the only noticble thing different is mine is at 95%.
Since you don't have work for LHC you may want to try just resetting or even reattaching to LHC.
