Not enough disk space

(moderation:
Since a few days BOINC is complaining about missing disk space. Jobs ran out and new ones were not downloaded. In the message box I read: "Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Parkes PMPS XT) needs 152.59MB more disk space. You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 152.59 MB."
I didn't change anything in the options of my BOINC client nor did I change them for E@H. The whole hard disk partition is available for E@H (as far as I can see).
At the moment my BOINC client stands still and does nothing any more.
Can anyone help me, please?

Not enough disk space
)
From the scheduler logs:
2015-11-28 09:45:05.6771 [PID=14580] [send] No disk space available: disk_max_used_gb 1.00GB disk_max_used_pct 1.40 disk_min_free_gb 100.00GB
2015-11-28 09:45:05.6772 [PID=14580] [send] No disk space available: host.d_total 138.09GB host.d_free 54.41GB host.d_boinc_used_total 0.20GB
2015-11-28 09:45:05.6772 [PID=14580] [send] No disk space available: x1 0.80GB x2 1.73GB x3 -45.59GB x -45.59GB
Check and adjust your computing prefs: (Make sure you edit the right venue/location)
"disk_max_used" corresponds to "Use no more than XX GB", you have it set to 1 GB.
"disk_max_used_pct" corresponds to "Use no more than XX% of total" you have it set to 1.4%.
"disk_min_free_gb" corresponds to "Leave at least XX GB free" you have it set to 100 GB.
The most restrictive of the above is the one that is used and according to the log above it's the "Leave at least 100 GB free" and as there is only 54.41 GB free disk space on that system Boinc can't leave at least 100 GB free and thus can't download new tasks.
I would set something like:
Use no more than 10 GB, Use no more than 80% of total and Leave at least 10 GB free.
