    Boinc stopped downloading work on at least one machine today.

    The message file says:

    The link says something pretty similar:

    Sounds like I'm running out of disk space but the disk tab of the manager says:
    Total disk usage:
    used by boinc: 162.62 MB
    free: available to boinc: 9.84 GB
    free: not available to boinc: 414.80 GB
    used by other programs: 33.56 GB

    Any suggestions. I don't have time right now to check other systems so I'm not sure how wide spread the problem is.

      What do your BOINC startup messages say? Please exit & restart BOINC, then post its the first 30 to 40 lines of its startup messages.

        Jord,

        Sorry, I missed your message, evidently I forgot to subscribe to the thread. I just got home and for some reason the manager would not connect to the client. Reboots, restarts didn't help. So I unistalled and reinstalled and it seems to be downloading and processing OK. It is still downloading but 6 tasks are running.

        I'm afraid I deleted those messages with the uninstall.

        Now I did use the latest 64 bit linux version from Berkeley rather than the Ubuntu distro.

        I'll report back if there are any problems.

        Joe

          Those messages are created with every start of the BOINC client.

            The uninstall/reinstall seems to have solved my problem so I doubt the latest messages will give us a clue as to why it was failing but here they are:

              Probably, this is the case.

                I don't get it.

                900MB is usage of 9% so there is plenty of space, isn't there? That has not changed.
