2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Is it possible to assign disk work space? (Message 95111) Posted 22 Apr 2020 by Mike Cebula Post: I posted to the BOINC community forum with this problem since I don't think it is specific to a project and received the following advice from Keith Myers" "You can move BOINC under Linux but involves lots of editing of symlinks and such picking up all the scattered BOINC files in various directories. Much easier to just use the BOINC All-in-One package. It is just a preconfigured BOINC installation for the Seti project with all its applications already loaded. You normally just download the package and unzip it someplace in /home. Then all BOINC files are in one location and you are the complete owner with owner permissions. "You can just remove the Seti project once you start it up and the Seti directory will be removed. You can add any project you want just like any other version of BOINC. Current package has the 7.16.5 client in it but the old 7.14.2 Manager but that is of no concern. You can remove the Seti gpu application source file directory to save some room if you are not interested and still want to keep the Seti project installed. Read the documentation, it is well written" He gave the following link as a source for the package: http://www.arkayn.us/lunatics/BOINC.7z First, I did a complete uninstall of BOINC after having allowed it to complete the current WUs. I downloaded the BOINC.7z file to my Downloads folder; unzipped it to /home/mike/BOINC. Installed, added Rosetta back in and up and running using plenty of disk space available in my /home/mike partition. Mike
3) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Is it possible to assign disk work space? (Message 95040) Posted 21 Apr 2020 by Mike Cebula Post: I have plenty of space available on my disk - especially in the /home partition where there is 40G free. However, Rosetta seems to put the files it is computing in one or more of the folders normally associated with the root partition and keeps asking for more space. My question is how can I point Rosetta to use folder(s) in my user /home partition? This would be a more preferable fix than restructuring the disk. Mike
