I was getting Tasks erroring out, looking in my Event log & saw complaints about not enough disk space.
Went from 20GB for BOINC to 30GB

13/06/2024 18:29:33 | ralph@home | Message from server: Generalized biomolecular modeling and design with RoseTTAFold All-Atom needs 3216.72MB more disk space. You currently have 13167.28 MB available and it needs 16384.00 MB.

Don't know why it wasn't happy, but after giving it more the errors stopped (or i got lucky with the Tasks).

Or it was trying to run Tasks before the last of the downloads had completed? BUt then why complain about disk space?




Behaviour of these Tasks is very odd looking at Task manager- the CPU usage varies between 2% and 12%
Suspending all but 6 Tasks (12 thread CPU) results in no improvement. In fact it makes it worse as suspending doesn't actually suspend them.
In the BOINC Manager they show as suspended- but in Task manager they are still there using CPU time.

After several suspends and resumes, the end result in BOINC Manager,
12 are running,
6 are waiting to run,
7 are ready to start.

Yet in Task Manager there are 18 Python processes running. each using 700-1.6GB of RAM (the amount varies second by second).



Developers- please fix suspend function so that Tasks do suspend when told to.
FIx checkpointing so work can continue on, not start from scratch after restarting BOINC (or un-suspending when suspending is fixed).


System is now sluggish, barely responsive at times. May need to kill some of those processes to keep the system up, but will try exiting & restarting BOINC first.

Edit- exited BOINC, restarted, and back to just 12 running Tasks in Task Manager.
