Hi there, I've been using the core client 4.19 for Linux and recently 4.27. Im halfway through my first WU now (55% in 6 months).

I've found out that running the core client for Windows on Wine/Linux is much faster than the native core client for Linux itself. I intend to move the work I've finished so far into a new directory to complete it in a faster environment.

How can I make the new installation continue where the old one stopped? I do not dare just to copy the Windows core client into my old BOINC root directory beacause I don't want to risk corruption of my work. Backing up the old directory is a bit troublesome because of its size (2.6 GB, which is more than my tape can handle).

Simply copying the climateprediction directory and state files into the new installation and then let the core client install the Windows binaries in it did not work. The new installation downloaded a new work unit and startet to run this. The older work is not continued.

Any ideas what to do?

TIA
Matthias

I've insufficient experience of Wine to offer advice on that, but a couple of points.

One is that your active BOINC directory should not need to exceed 1 GB running a single model. Old CPDN model project folders should be kept but are better archived on another folder or drive. If your active model folder is more than about 400 MB now something may be wrong.

The other more important point is that Linux and Windows versions are incompatible because of differences in the file structure.
