61) Message boards : Number crunching : exceeded disk limit (Message 318) Posted 5 May 2015 by Richard Haselgrove Post: My second one completed as it should, cleaning up all files and not causing any errors for the following task. So, who's seeing these errors, and what's the common factor? Version of VBox? Version of Windows? Running as a service? In my case - 4.3.26, 7, no.

Rats. OK, upgrading to the private drop for the next one.
63) Message boards : Number crunching : exceeded disk limit (Message 314) Posted 5 May 2015 by Richard Haselgrove Post: That seems normal - I'm seeing init_data.xml being removed and replaced regularly with earlier versions too. The interesting thing will be to compare the list of files deleted at the end of the run, between the earlier versions (which I will post - later today) and this private drop version - and to compare both with what happens in the slot directory, of course.
64) Message boards : Number crunching : exceeded disk limit (Message 312) Posted 5 May 2015 by Richard Haselgrove Post: A 'private drop' (bare BOINC client, no installer, place in existing BOINC program directory) has been made available for people willing to test this. I believe it will also have the extra <slot_debug> logging that David mentioned. x86: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc.040515.x86.zip x64: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc.040515.x64.zip If you use it, please enable the extra logging and report back (whether success or failure) - we're looking for proper deletion of the .vdi file in all cases.
