With that much free disk space, and the relatively modest amount used by the task, what are they complaining about?

It doesn't matter how much disk space you have, if you don't let BOINC use it.
And it could just be a hard coded disk usage limit in the Rosetta application that got exceeded.

It should not of used so much disk space.

I run Fedora Linux and Rosetta Beta work units only use less than 30 MB of disk space and 1.6 GB to 1.8 GB of RAM.

This has been consistent for nearly all beta work units.

They use so much memory that my 32 GB RAM on a 24 thread computer gets almost 100% used as well as most of my 8.6 GB Swap space.

Boinc actually limits running threads so it can keep going. Anyway must work as no errors.

But I DO let Boinc use it; At least 420 GBytes of it. I have entire partition on one of my hard drives where all the Boinc stuff is and it has 420 GBytes allocated. And only about 11 GBytes are being used at the moment.

I notice that the other user who attempted to run this task failed the same way I did.
Him:

I am running Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.7 (Ootpa). My machine is ID: 5910575.
My machine has 128 GBytes of RAM, so I am not running out of that. I am using very little swap space, and not thrashing.

A disk usage limit can be set by the project via <rsc_disk_bound> (in bytes).
It is thought to protect the disk from being filled by endless loops.
You may check client_state.xml for the current values.

If the error happens regularly the project people may need to increase the value.
Otherwise it may indicate a program error.

Which one? There are many different ones. this is a sort -u of them.

Yeah, each individual task sets its own requirement, so it'll come up multiple times in the client state file

But didn't we have this before and found it to be a problem with Boinc rather than Rosetta?
I used to put no limit (blank) on maximum disk size set aside for Boinc, but it ended up needing a high set figure because of some kind of miscalculation, so if I put 500Gb then tasks went through ok, even if the unlimited disk space turned out to be more than that.

I may be misremembering how we resolved this, but it was something to do with that, however nonsensical the solution seemed to be.

It waz like this

If you want to have something in all three boxes in boinc manager this setting also works and gets the maximum use of the disk with all three boxes used , if you [whoever you are that is reading this] insist on it .
Use no more than - 500 GB - Just set this to something BIG
Leave at least - 0.01 GB free
Use no more than - 99.9 % of total

from my thread from February 2022 when we were dealing with greedy python`s ;-)

https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=14903&postid=105215

I went as far as putting those settings in my web preferences so that any new computer I attach to ANY project gets them automatically , problem fixed PERMANTLY .
until next time something screws up . . . .
After all this is BOINC .
nnnnnn.........

I must've read that at the time and did much the same.
