I just started using BOINC running E@H. I've allowed up to 100GB of disk space (out of 500GB), but several times get this message:

Seems like it should have plenty of disk space available, what gives?

"Needs XX.X more disk space."

Fixed. First, it's a BOINC issue, not E@H only. The fix is to check disk space preferences, keeping in mind which partition it's using.
