Disk Space Requirements

Post by Augustine »

eOn seems to use only a few MB of disk space, yet it requires the client to have almost 1GB of disk space available. Is this truly correct?

TIA

Are you running Linux? It seems this complaint has surfaced before...

I am, but the space made available to BOINC is this case is just about 0.5GB.

I had this same problem, had 300Mb free but eOn wouldnt download any tasks because it was asking for 1Gb of free space. I made room and it only wanted 7Mb.

I am running BOINC 6.10.58 on Win7 64bit

I have lowered the disk space requirement to 50Mb per wu.

Out of curiosity how are you running your boinc client such that you only have 300Mb free? Are people running the client off of a usb flash memory drive or something? I doesn't make sense to me that anyone has a computer without a gigabyte or two of disk space to spare when a gigabyte of storage costs something like 5 cents.

The reason I reserve only 0.5GB for BOINC is because of disk quota policies.

Thanks for your understanding.

I had 1Gb reserved for boinc as i couldnt sacrifice the default 10Gb, however other projects i am running take up a lot of space which only left me with 300Mb free. I have now made room for bounc to have more disc usage.
