The workunits still ask for 5*10^9 bytes (4.656GB) free disk space.

Is this really necessary, or is there an extra zero in this last parameter?

Any BOINC installation that doesn't have 4.65 GB free to for BOINC to use ....
Likely isn't getting GPUGrid work, because the admins still have this screwed up.

I hope the admins look at this, and care enough to fix it.

I tried to prompt them, twice, earlier in this thread, but no luck.

Yo estaba de nuevo insuficiente espacio en disco Mensaje .... he aumentado de 8 a 16 GB en las preferencias de Boinc línea, espero que esto va a resolver el problema ...

I was again insufficient disk space Message .... I increased from 8 to 16 GB in the preferences of Boinc online, I hope this will solve the problem ...

J'ai eu à nouveau le message d'insuffisance d'espace disque.... j'ai augmenté de 8 à 16 Go dans les préférences de Boinc en ligne, j'espère que cela va résoudre le problème...

Yep, that's the way to solve this problem. It might appear again, depending on what your other projects do, but then you know what you can do.

Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002

The free space on my hosts have run below 5*10^9 bytes again, but this time I've find out its reason: the Google Chrome browser has the bad habit of keeping all of its previous installers (~44MB each) in its installation folder, so the size of this folder is continuously increasing. On one of my hosts it was wasting 1.5GB. I haven't found any setting in Chrome which would limit the size of this folder, so I've manually deleted everything except the last one.
I still think this

<rsc_disk_bound>5000000000.000000</rsc_disk_bound>

is an order of magnitude higher than reasonable.

Houston, we have a problem!
Now the free space required by the long runs raised to 8*10^9 bytes.

2016. 03. 07. 16:25:19 | GPUGRID | Message from server: Long runs (8-12 hours on fastest card) needs 1064.42MB more disk space. You currently have 6564.98 MB available and it needs 7629.39 MB.

Is this intentional, or just an extra zero?
I've checked it on my working host:

                 123456789
<rsc_disk_bound>8000000000.000000</rsc_disk_bound>

While the short runs need only 300MB:

                 12345678
<rsc_disk_bound>300000000.000000</rsc_disk_bound>

Please, reduce the disk space requirement of long runs by an order of magnitude as these tasks don't need 7.45GB disk space.
I could resize the XP partition on my hosts if this much space is needed, but I don't think so.
