Not able to get new work on 5.10.28 on GNU/Linux Ubuntu

Hi all,
I know this is a test version but I'm unable to get new work. I have been able to get work till yesterday. I have tried resetting the project but something is still stopping stuff. Here is the extract from the messages tab.

Now I have something like 5 GB free HDD space & in the default preferences it is written that one can take 4.0 GB. The only thing to make sure that 500 MB of space should be left Using 80% of the total disk space. So why do I get the above error?

Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Regards

Well, the problem seems painfully obvious.

Why do you have so little disk space available to BOINC?

Preferences limit disk usage to 0.08GB

Look in BOINC Manager - Advanced - Preferences and increase the available disk limit. Check My Grid - Device Manager and select your Profile. Make sure that you maximize your usage limits.

Hi Shirish:
I've set all my machines to run giving BOINC max 100%. Haven't had any problems with:
email, net surfing, wordprocessing, compiling stuff, playing games, etc. all running BOINC 24/7. Don't hold back. . . . just go for the max. you can then scale back if your unsatified. I doubt you will be unhappy and you'll get more work done.
Best
