i\'ve rummaged the forum here, and it seems like a lot of ppl are getting this error. yet i\'m still not able to get rid of it.

my hard drive did indeed fill up [episodes of futurama ;) ] and boinc stopped working. i\'ve since freed up 18gig of space, and told boinc to get going again, and it says nope, it still needs more. so then i went to each project that i had and i changed the following settings:

use no more than: 2gig
leave at least: .1 gig
use no more than: 50%

as i check my drives at the moment, i have 18 gig free. [did a little more cleaning while i was at it] boinc still will not run, citing that it has no space.

any ideas?

This project needs about 700Megs.
I don\'t know about the others.

Did you turn on the recording? This uses up hd space at a rapid rate.
There will be a message on the globe display somewhere if you have.

You\'ve also had 3 failures, which will have left remnants behind, in folders with the names of the models. Have you deleted these?

How much disk space does the boinc folder take in total, and how much does the CPDN project within Boinc itself take up?

think i figured it out with your help. went into $:\\Program Files\\BOINC\\projects\\climateprediction.net\\ and deleted everything in there. almost immediately things started working. it looks like the failures were sitting on disk taking up an inordinate amount of space.

thanks for your help.
