1) Message boards : Number crunching : Not enough disk space (Message 17261) Posted 20 Nov 2005 by old_user2792 Post: Thanks for your reply Andrew. The BOINC Wiki is very useful. To CP admin I\'m hoping that CP.net can maybe consider adding an option where users can choose to auto-delete old work units. or at the very least, warn people who sign up. The take over of hard drive space by CP is certainly not what I expected & I don\'t expect to have to manage CP to recover my disk space, when BOINC manager is expected to do just that.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Not enough disk space (Message 17256) Posted 20 Nov 2005 by old_user2792 Post: Thank you for your post. From the Wiki info, I was able to delete the directories & am now crunching again. I\'m concerned why CP stores used data on my pc, when my wife\'s pc which is configured in the same way does not store this old data. In addition, I\'m very concerned that if I had a farm of computers running CP, I would have a regular job to manually remove the finished directories on each computer to ensure that disk space usage is acceptable.
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Not enough disk space (Message 17254) Posted 20 Nov 2005 by old_user2792 Post: Thank you for your reply. My issue is that there should be no CP units on my computer, but that CP is using over 2gb of disk space. Once units are uploaded, should BOINC remove the old completed units or are the old units simply left on the computer? In addition, there also appear to be old exe & zip files in the CP directory. Why would I need to copy CP files to a CD? Is there a purpose in keeping old CP files?
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Not enough disk space (Message 17252) Posted 20 Nov 2005 by old_user2792 Post: BOINC v5.2.6 I have no CP units running & no CP units waiting to upload, but my BOINC disk status reports that CP is using 2.13gb of disk space. I am therefore getting a message that work is available but units cannot download due to low disk space (see below).

However v4.09 is unstable on my system, it simply will not run. I now have both network pcs running v4.05 problem free - apart from no Seti units. I'll wait for a new version before trying an upgrade again. BTW My processor is running in HT mode.

After the upgrade, my BOINC software hung. I have now managed to downgrade back to v4.05 but my cimateprediction work unit is gone & the software is .02% though a new work unit. Is my old work unit lost?
