Sek,

I don't see any rhyme or reason to the DDDT max disk usage PCs... some are Core2Duo, some are AMD64X2. Most are on WinXP but a few are on Vista.

I came back from a weekend trip to find 6 pages of DDDT error WUs

Spot-checking the quorums...it looks like they had 7 error statuses in the quorum (mine included). I don't see any Valid for the ones I've spot-checked.

I think I see a trend here.. max diskspace or out of memory issues can be attributed to a few things.. maybe this will help most of you out...

I been working with BOINC for over a day now since migrating from the UD agents on all my rigs.. Disk space I left as default.. 40 GB which seems to be plenty.. when BOINC is processing it will basicly leave 1 completed result in queue, running one, and will leave one undone in queue. when on multi processor rigs just add one of those pretty much for each core.

for disk space for those with small drives I would not recommend going lower then 4 GB of drive space for BOINC drive space use... again add 1X space per core..

Memory issues

Virtual Memory.. BOINC loves it.. if youre computer runs low on virtual memory BONIC will try to use any remaining Physical memory to process. typically normal use looking at about 500 MB or VM per core and can go up and down based on WU and WU progress.. typically you want to have 1 GB of Virtual Memory per core.. on your computer.. this will ensure that each task running will have some elebow room to work with..

Hope this helps most of you that have been having troubles...

@choj01,

Interesting but fear not as the processes are designed to go into a 'waiting for memory' state if there really is not enough available. As eluded the 'max disk usage exceeded' is a secondary error resulted from an other fault. When the error occurs, the program is to dump the memory state to disk for analysis, except the dump is so large it runs into the restriction set for this particular project which seemingly is around 72mb. Consider the upload result is only 200kb.

At times thought is was related to 5.10.x, but not that either. Windows had some interesting patches. ATM I cant remember this having been reported for either Linux or Mac. Esoteric17 reported different systems and OSses, but all windows.

knreed would be looking at it as he explained that if a unit failed, all 7 send out fail. It would be too much of coincidence that 7 systems had the same shortcoming.

Added: See that while writing, Uplinger posted the resolution, so another problem send to the hereafter.

Thanks uplinger. I've re-checked DDDT - hopefully I won't get any more errors

There may be a few that I missed but a majority of them if not all should be fixed.

Thank you again!
