Message 49268 - Posted: 13 Jun 2011, 22:12:23 UTC

I have allocated 20 GB of disk space on the machine running MW@home (an Intel i5 running win7-64), but received a message that requests for 14 and for 50 MB were not possible to satisfy. My disk tab on BOINC v.6.12.26 (x64) says 2.60GB allocated, 17.40 GB available.

I am running MW@home, Climate Prediction by the BBC (the main disk space user), and Seti@home, which also requested more space and was refused.

Any suggestions?

Are you certain that it does not say leave at least 20GB free on disk?

If this is a dedicated drive for nothing but BOINC, change the option to only keep 1GB free instead.

NO. It is not a dedicated disk for Boinc. There is another 120 GB currently unused. Please note that BOINC knows about the space:

Still having the same problem with MW@Home: Requests for additional disk space (14 MB, 50 MB) are refused, even though BOINC itself shows 17.6 GB (not MB) free of the 20 GB allocated to BOINC. The exact message is

6/26/2011 10:19:42 PM | Milkyway@home | Message from server: MilkyWay@Home N-Body Simulation needs 50.00MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 50.00 MB.
6/26/2011 10:19:42 PM | Milkyway@home | Message from server: MilkyWay@Home needs 14.31MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 14.31 MB.

Is this message from MW or from BOINC?

The message above repeats once. MW continues to run

6/27/2011 5:00:01 PM | Milkyway@home | Computation for task de_separation_13_3s_fix10_2_1064204_1309061798_0 finished

but perhaps on only a limited number of tasks.

Does anyone else see similar messages?

Thanks.

Pete

Make sure none of the other Boinc settings is restricting the disk space and that the drive isn't down to the limit set under "leave at least".

I believe this was what I got when I filled my drive to that point. Once deleted it was fine.
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?
If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

I have seen the same message. I updated the BM to 6.12.33, that solved the problem.

Thank you, Werkstatt. That (upgrading to 6.12.33) seems to have solved the problem (at least so far!).
I just wonder what the glitch was.
