*u are exceeding the 50% limit u choose !


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.

I've also gotten this error with result 9437 and result 11045.

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.

I got the same error message:

Result
Workunit

I had BOINC running as a service so I didn't see any of the graphics.

Since I'm new to RALPH@Home, I had a question. The FAQ says that "If you have a work unit that fails, it is important to report any imformation you have about the failure in the appropreate RALPH@home forum." So, I am supposed to make a post to the forum (presumably in the 'bug list' section) for every single failure? Isn't all the information automatically reported by BOINC to the RALPH@Home server? What additional info am I supposed to report?
