This work unit / result was aborted with: 2006-02-24 10:57:25 [ralph@home] Aborting result BARCODE_30_1a32__219_4_0: exceeded disk limit: 200020295.000000 > 200000000.000000 2006-02-24 10:57:25 [ralph@home] Unrecoverable error for result BARCODE_30_1a32__219_4_0 (Maximum disk usage exceeded) The limit must be part of the work unit as I still have several GB of free disk space, that is available to boinc. |

This work unit / result was aborted with: You can set your disk usage parameters in your prefs. It probably exceed the "use les than xxx %" setting or something like that. Regards phil |

This work unit / result was aborted with: Preferences: Disk and memory usage Use no more than 40 GB disk space Leave at least 1 GB disk space free Use no more than 50% of total disk space The Boinc directory currently occupies just under 2 GiB of a 55.8 GiB partition with 23.7 GiB free. So the Boinc CC is nowhere near limit in this machine. |

I've also gotten this error with result 9437 and result 11045. 2006-02-25 3:26:02 PM|ralph@home|Aborting result BARCODE_30_1shfA_225_10_0: exceeded disk limit: 200654661.000000 > 200000000.000000 2006-02-25 3:26:02 PM|ralph@home|Unrecoverable error for result BARCODE_30_1shfA_225_10_0 (Maximum disk usage exceeded) 2006-02-25 3:26:03 PM||request_reschedule_cpus: process exited 2006-02-25 3:26:03 PM|ralph@home|Computation for result BARCODE_30_1shfA_225_10_0 finished I have several GB's free on this partition, and my entire BOINC directory is only taking up around 87MB (I have no idea how Hermes' takes up almost 2GB). But where is it getting this limit of 200MB from in the first place? Some stats: my C partition is 18.8GB with 9.9GB free. My Preferences: Use no more than 100 GB disk space Leave at least 1 GB disk space free (that leaves 8.9GB) Use no more than 50% of total disk space (9.4 GB) Write to disk at most every 60 seconds Use no more than 75% of total virtual memory So BOINC is using not even a fraction of what is available to it. I changed the prefs to: Leave at least 0.5 GB disk space free Use no more than 80% of total disk space Maybe that will help, but there should not have been a problem in the first place. I've ran ROSETTA@Home for months on the same PC without ever getting this error message, so I think there must be something different about these new versions we are testing in RALPH@Home to cause this. |

Use no more than 50% of total disk space This is u problem ! I use no more than 98% -:) Do some mathematics eg: u disk has 80GB If u have less than 40GB of free disk space (several GB free) *u are exceeding the 50% limit u choose ! Click signature for global team stats

We did do the math, and neither Hermes nor myself are exceeding the limits we set. The error message says we are exceeding a limit of 200 MB = 0.2 GB, whereas we both have several GB's free. |

BTW, it might not be his settings... I just got this same error today and reported it in the bug report forum here https://ralph.bakerlab.org/forum_thread.php?id=52 There is no way that it can be due to running out of disk space. When I got my extern drive back in December, I started moving several GBs of data off the system drive (which has BOINC installed on it), so it's got more free space now then before. Here's the info ---------------------------------------- ... Directory of D:Program FilesBOINCslots6 01/31/2006 01:46 PM <DIR> . 01/31/2006 01:46 PM <DIR> .. 0 File(s) 0 bytes Directory of D:Program FilesBOINCslots7 01/30/2006 06:40 PM <DIR> . 01/30/2006 06:40 PM <DIR> .. 0 File(s) 0 bytes Total Files Listed: 381 File(s) 178,070,447 bytes 152 Dir(s) 26,629,152,768 bytes free D:Program FilesBOINC> -------------------------------------- doing a dir /s at that prompt. The overall size of that particular Hard Drive/partition is 33.1 GB, and the info on profile with your servers is https://ralph.bakerlab.org/show_host_detail.php?hostid=1024 Total disk space 33.18 GB Free Disk Space 24.82 GB with settings of Disk and memory usage Use no more than 5.0 GB disk space Leave at least (Values smaller than 0.001 are ignored) 2.0 GB disk space free Use no more than 50.0% of total disk space Write to disk at most every 60.0 seconds Use no more than 75.0% of total virtual memory ------------------------------------------------ I'm no where's close to those limits and have well more then 50% free, and had the same error message myself. |

In the prefs it is not really clear what all these setting actually do. I had this problem a few times on my laptop which always runs close to a full disk. I finally figured out a few things that are not intuitive about the space settings. 1) First the "use no more than xxx GB" applies to BOINC space used. Everything for BOINC not just rosetta or rosetta slot space. You are unlikely to violate this one with any normal size queue. 2) "Leave at least xxx.xx GB" refers to the total space that must be left on the disk before BOINC will be allowed to run the project but it is not a BOINC space use number. If loading anything from a project would violate that value BOINC will not allow that to happen. You can also violate it outside of BOINC and stop BOINC from running. 3) "Use no more than xx%" refers to the total FREE space on the disk no matter what is using it, it is not a BOINC space use number. But if loading something for BOINC would violate it BOINC will not allow that to happen. And it too can be violated outside of BOINC and stop BOINC from running. So in practical terms, these all play against each other as "OR' factors not "AND" factors. But you can force an "AND" condition (which is what is happening in your case). Violate any one or more of them in any combination and BOINC will give you the not enough space space error. If BOINC would use more than XXX GB of space (1) it will not run (or load work). OR if you have less than XXX.XX GB of total free space (2) on the disk if BOINC added new data BOINC will not run. OR If your total use of a disks FREE space exceeds xx% (3) no matter how much is BOINC or anything else then BOINC will not run. But it seems that the information below on disk space calculation may be correct. Part of the problem is the difference between these values as calculated by the system. To most people 1Kb is 1000B, but to the disk system it is 1024B. So the system thinks it has more data that the person reading the numbers unless you take that difference into account. And for BOINC there is no gray area on this. Go over the parameter by so much as a single byte and it will fail. So If I were you guys, I would not worry about the first setting 100GB should work fine Mine is set to 100GB, a value bigger than my total disk space. I would set parameter 2 to something less than 5GB, mine is .001GB. I would set the third setting to something like 80%, mine is at 50%. My laptop has a 55GB drive and only has 2.4GB of free space and it runs just fine, but it took a while to figure this out so it would work. Regards Phil |

Several errors on this computer due to this error. https://ralph.bakerlab.org/show_host_detail.php?hostid=611 Ralph would have to exeed either 1 gig HD, or 600 Meg of virtual storage to get this error.

Several errors on this computer due to this error. I SOLVED the problem by installing the BBC Version of BOINC, which is more advanced (at least in Ver.No.) than the windows client provided by BOINC itself. Strange, very strange. But works without changing any settings! Do I have to compile win32-binaries by myself to get the newest version, or what? |

This definitely is a limit of the Ralph work units <workunit> The workunit is limited to 200000000.000000 bytes. It has nothing to do with my disk-usage parameters. The offending file is probably stdout.txt, whose size is approximatly 1MB/CPU-Minute on my PC. So I expect it to fail after 3.5h. |

I shouldn't of posted under 4.87 - result exceeds size limit I guess but my thoughts are here I got another, I had a look at the slots n stdout.txt and found it to be 80,562KB and full of If you are correct we need to know. Could you set your time parameter to 4 hours and see if that fixes the problem? If not then try 2 hours I think that the values are being overridden, I updated my prefs to 1 hour then updated BOINC but am still getting 8 hour WU's. |

4 hours does not make much difference as still getting same message as others about the disk space, I have now have settings of 'use no more than 220 GB and 95% of total disk" was 210 GB and 85%. Will try 2 hours and see what happens. |

This definitely is a limit of the Ralph work units The WU failed after 3.25h )see the Result here. The next WU failed after just over 5h. See Result here. I'll try "Target CPU run time" 4 hours the next time I get a WU. |

Here is the result of one where I deleted stdout.txt after about 60% of the WU: 12095 I did not babysit it until completion, so I am not sure what the final size was. Here is one where I did not delete the stdout.txt: 12096 This was with Boinc beta version 5.3.22 I do not remember the exact warning in the stdout.txt file that got repeated, but it was three lines that got repeated several about 100000 lines pr model in the WU.

I will try various client versions, both beta and stable to see if I get the same results the next time I receive some work units from Ralph. |
