Maximum disk usage exceeded on BOINC [resolved]

There is a problem with the use of the BOINC Throttle on Linux and Mac computers using the 5.8 BOINC client. The problem will cause your computer to have errors with all work done on the Help Defeat Cancer and FightAIDS@Home projects.

You can see if you are experiencing this problem if you look at the error and you see text which says "Maximum disk usage exceeded".

We are working with BOINC to resolve the problem.

Until this is resolved we recommend that members either use the BOINC 5.4 client on Linux and Mac or that you set the throttle to 100%.

Members who experience this problem may also get a message stating that they have reached their daily quota when their computer requests additional work from the server. Once you set the throttle to 100% or revert the to the BOINC 5.4 client, then you will be able to start getting more work.

Re: Maximum disk usage exceeded on BOINC

The fix for this problem has been released into production for Help Defeat Cancer. It is version 5.20 (on Linux and Mac). The windows platform did not experience the problem and so it remains on version 5.19.

We are close to fixing the problem for FightAIDS@Home.

Re: Maximum disk usage exceeded on BOINC

The fix for this problem has been released into production for FightAIDS@Home. It is version 5.30 for Linux and Mac. The production version for Windows continues to be 5.28 (it was not affected by this problem so we are not releasing a new version for windows)
