Could they be trying to use the same file name? Me, too! :-) I'm really not sure what's going on with the other project, but you can read more in this thread over at CERN/CMS-dev.
23) Message boards : Number crunching : 196 (0xc4) EXIT_DISK_LIMIT_EXCEEDED (Message 63498) Posted 2 May 2015 by ritterm Post: THAT'S the file you want to look at, post it here if you can please. Well, other than the initial remarks about the "Maximum disk usage exceeded" error and what appears to be the lack of results data at the end, the rest of the file looks virtually identical to the stderr output of a valid task. However, I think my problem is solved. Following the suggestion of a forum post about a similar problem at another project, I checked my host's slots directories and found two "stray" VM image files left by one of the VM projects (probably CERN's CMS-dev), each of which was over 5GB. I deleted those files and slots and have been running trouble free for almost 12 hours. I'm not sure, though, that I understand why that was the problem.

It didn't take too long, but all that's left in the directory is the stderr output file and it's only 4KB. If something "big" was generated before being deleted, I wasn't able to see anything. The only message in the BOINC manager log related to the task is something similar to this: Aborting task de_80_DR8_Rev_8_5_00004_1429700402_4384432_0: exceeded disk limit: 5115.01MB > 14.31MB I just don't understand what's going on. Only about 5% of the tasks are failing for me and others don't seem to be having any problem with them.

Look in the slot directory... I'm afraid I'm not sure I know what to look for. These tasks are failing right away, after only 1-2 seconds of run time. I don't see anything changing in the slot directory when this happens (\ProgramData\BOINC\slots, right?).
26) Message boards : Number crunching : 196 (0xc4) EXIT_DISK_LIMIT_EXCEEDED (Message 63478) Posted 29 Apr 2015 by ritterm Post: ...I think it's to do with <rsc_disk_bound>... That's what I was thinking, too, of course. However, I now think I might have a GPU hardware problem -- all the tasks I've checked that errored out for me have been completed by another host without a problem. If the tasks I ran had bad parameters, would the same task work for another host? When I upgraded the video driver, I went to the AMD website, downloaded and ran their auto-detect tool, and let it pick and install a new driver. Is there anything else I need to install?
27) Message boards : Number crunching : 196 (0xc4) EXIT_DISK_LIMIT_EXCEEDED (Message 63470) Posted 27 Apr 2015 by ritterm Post: Additional info, in case it matters... I have local preferences set that are pretty wide-open, I think. The host has an 1TB HDD with only about 250GB used. Local disk limits are set to: Use at most -- 150GB (most restrictive) Leave at least -- 0.1 GB (least restrictive) Use at most -- 50% of total (less restrictive) The BOINC manager says that 26 GB is used for BOINC with 124GB available and that MS@H is using less than 240MB.
28) Message boards : Number crunching : 196 (0xc4) EXIT_DISK_LIMIT_EXCEEDED (Message 63469) Posted 27 Apr 2015 by ritterm Post: These things keep coming. Updating to the latest driver doesn't seem to have helped and others running the same tasks don't seem to have any problems, either. I'm thinking I have a hardware problem... :-(
29) Message boards : Number crunching : 196 (0xc4) EXIT_DISK_LIMIT_EXCEEDED (Message 63461) Posted 24 Apr 2015 by ritterm Post: I'm getting a few "Maximum disk usage exceeded" errors. I don't think I've ever seen this here. For my tasks, the client_state file shows: <rsc_disk_bound>15000000.000000</rsc_disk_bound> Example task result shows Peak disk usage 5,741.01 MB.
30) Message boards : News : New Nbody version 1.46 (Message 62977) Posted 8 Jan 2015 by ritterm Post: It seems there has been an issue with the newly added multithreading routines in this version... Is it just the MTs? I've seen the same kind of errors in the non-MTs. WU 690529199, for example.
31) Message boards : Number crunching : MilkyWay@Home v1.02 (opencl_amd_ati) Compute Errors (Message 62846) Posted 15 Dec 2014 by ritterm Post: Hope they figure it out soon :) They look to be making their way out of the system as I don't have nearly as many, but they're still out there. A recent result is WU 671517190.
32) Message boards : Number crunching : MilkyWay@Home v1.02 (opencl_amd_ati) Compute Errors (Message 62837) Posted 15 Dec 2014 by ritterm Post: Seeing a lot of compute errors on recent work. Wingmen are failing, too. Typical example: WU 671510169 Stderr output contains these lines: Error loading Lua script 'astronomy_parameters.txt': [string "number_parameters: 4..."]:1: '<name>' expected near '4' Error reading astronomy parameters from file 'astronomy_parameters.txt' All of my failed work starts with "de_80_DR8_Rev_8_4". All other "de_8x" work seems okay so far.
33) Message boards : Number crunching : Feeder Down (Message 62385) Posted 24 Sep 2014 by ritterm Post: Sorry about that! I've been at a conference in Baltimore...I ran back to my hotel room on break to get things fixed. Sorry about the delay! Well, certainly. You are allowed to have a life apart from keeping multiple BOINC projects running...or is that the other Travis?! :D Regardless, thanks for the effort getting us back in business here! Cheers, MarkR

Okay, okay...It's not my intention to hijack this thread, but could you or another admin respond to the server issues brought up in the SERVER DOWN or Server Error: Feeder not running threads?
