CPDN keeps refusing to send new work:

7/7/2006 12:44:42 PM|climateprediction.net|Message from server: No work sent
7/7/2006 12:44:42 PM|climateprediction.net|Message from server: (there was work but you don\'t have enough disk space allocated)
7/7/2006 12:44:42 PM|climateprediction.net|Message from server: Not enough disk space (only 35305.9 MB free for BOINC). Review preferences for minimum disk free space allowed.

It\'s NOT caused by my prefs -- as you can see, 35GB is available, and my percentages or min free space is not the issue either.

Computer is running W2K. CPDN ran fine a month or two ago, finished one WU (took about a month). It\'s currently running fine on another computer (XP).

I just installed the latest BOINC manager, detached and reattached to the project (\"wrong URL\" message).


Thanks
Jeff

The problem is the 402 models \"reportedly\" sent to you. Any of these that reached your computer will each be taking up disk space.
Please click on the Projects tab, click on the project name, then click on No new work.
This will stop the download of more models until you sort out your computer problem.

There may also be a problem at Oxford with some of the software being killed by the huge load, leaving the remainder not working as it should.

Again, blocking requests for work, and waiting for the 1.5 programmers to fix it will help.

Good idea, but this is not the problem because they are not taking disk space. Altogether, CDPN is using 6M (that\'s MEG, not GIG) of disk space.

I bet this is happening to lots of folks who aren\'t even aware of it. Regardless, it\'s probably a good idea to stop taking WUs and check periodically rather than let the system think that all those WUs are actually in progress somewhere.

Thanks,
Jeff
