unable to begin any new tasks in any projects, BOINC tell me that I have no disk space for more tasks...my computer have a hard drive with a lot of GB free...


any idea ?


SETI@home v8 needs 32.00MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 32.00 MB.

Well, what are your current settings for "Disk" if you use web settings?

Or if you use Boinc Manager, then Computing preferences... Disk and memory tab?

It works now but I have to uncheck the three boxes in the disk part to get something. If I want to control the disk usage by rechecking the boxes, the same problem will reappear ? Thanks for the answer

BOINC will use the most restrictive of the settings. Just reserve as much disk space as you need. I normally set it to reserve 5 GB, and leave the others unchecked.
