1) Message boards : Number crunching : No Work (Message 7587) Posted 25 Dec 2005 by Law Family Post: Thanks for the suggestion. The Boinc Folder contains a total of 132 files in 40 folders, and uses a total of 34.7 MB. We are also running Seti@home and sharing resources with Rosetta set to 100 and Seti to 900. We have a 150 GB hard drive, and there is about 60 GB free. So from what I've seen in Boinc, there does not seem to be any excessive use. Any other suggestions please - as I mentioned before, both Rosetta and Seti were running until yesterday, and I have not changed any settings in the last 2 weeks. Thanks Ian Maybe I am not following what you suggest, but I thought I was - I am still getting the maessage "\|rosetta@home\|Message from server: (there was work but you don't have enough disk space allocated)" BUT I have my settings in general preferences as below. Those settings seem to be generous enough. Have you checked how much hard disk space is actually free and how much is already used by BOINC (check it in Windows Explorer)? I recall having this same problem some time ago when I had a few old (finished) "Climate Prediction" work units taking up so much space that BOINC had used more space than I had allowed (even though there was plenty of free space). Once I deleted those old work units, all was well again.

And Rosetta was running well before that, and I have not changed the prefrences! "Disk and memory usage Use no more than 100 GB disk space Leave at least 0.1 GB disk space free Use no more than 50% of total disk space Write to disk at most every 60 seconds Use no more than 75% of total virtual memory" Is there something else I need to do? Thanks Ian
