    I've been running einstein happily for many months now.

    My platform is amd 686-linux-gnu (Slackware).

    When the albert app came, suddenly the files client_state.xml and client_state_prev.xml get updated every minute.

    I do not want that.

    I have set "Write to disk at most every 600 seconds" in the preferences at einstein.phys.uwm.edu.

    Albert ignores that completely. I've tried stopping the client, restarting, ./boinc -update_prefs , etc. all to no avail.

    I do NOT want all this HD activity.

    What to do?

      There is already a discussion about this issue in one of the other threads.

        Yes, the problem has been mentioned over in the Crunchers Corner. Not really discussed yet.

        This is a bug, and should be discussed here.

        I'm using the boinc 5.2.4 i686-pc-linux-gnu boinc client, on a std linux 2.4.29 kernel.

            This was a bug in the Linux version (not in the Win32 or Mac versions). Yesterday we updated the Linux version of albert from 4.38 to 4.40. This should fix the problem.
