LHC@home

Hi,

I got this error after my first ATLAS task had run for a number of hours:

4/18/2020 2:53:46 PM | LHC@home | Aborting task QJ3MDmuFpjwnsSi4apGgGQJmABFKDmABFKDmEpOYDmABFKDmd46DYn_0: exceeded disk limit: 10392.30MB > 9536.74MB

I have no idea where this "disk limit" is set or where it comes from. I can't find any such number in any of my project preferences, BOINC preference or local Manager preferences. Also, AFAICT, BOINC didn't run out of disk space, as I still have 90G free on that drive. Can anyone explain what's causing this issue and how I can fix it?

I would also like to know if it is possible to change the drive BOINC projects use for their work, preferably per project. The original 5 projects I had when I started with BOINC some years ago used a reasonable amount of disk space that I didn't begrudge. But one of those projects (SETI) is ending its BOINC work, and I decided to add Rosetta and LHC to take its place. However, those 2 new projects more than doubled the amount of disk space being used, so now I'd like to move at least some of the projects to another (physical) drive, which, though slower (it's a traditional disk drive), has much more free disk space. Is there any way to do this? If it would be better for me to ask this in another forum, I will do so.

Thanks.

Doug
