I have been running the E@H program without problems - until today. Suddenly a puzzling error message tells me that the program needs some space (~100mb or so) and none is available. This is curious because there is plenty of space, RAM and HD. Same message on the other project (medical). No idea what is going on here Lawrence.

Suddenly puzzling error message

It's probably a BOINC setting, which you can change. Your server log says:

I've picked out the one which is probably causing the problem.

Also note that Bernd has posted recently about increased disk usage in the Technical News area - old files (which are no longer needed) are not being deleted as they should be. I've no doubt that there will be follow-up discussion of how to deal with that, but it will probably take place in either Technical News or the Problems and Bug Reports area - you'll probably do better posting questions like this there.

In the short term, you could keep running by reducing BOINC's minimum space requirement using your Account global preferences page, but don't go below 40 GB even in the short term, and put a little effort into understanding how you got to use that much, and finding a way to get it under control again.

You posted this same problem

You posted this same problem over in Technical News, where I made some detailed comments I won't repeat here.

I don't monitor the café subforum here, so hadn't noticed he'd already posted here.
