Recently started gettting a weird issue on one of my little primegrid boxes.It looks to have started on or about 15th.
Host 303142 seems to be insisting that there is 0.00 MB of free space despite there being over 900MB of the 1GB ram drive free and avliable to BOINC.
BOINC seems to think there is free space and primegrid is not having any issues downloading tasks.

I tried a project rest of WUProp, detatching (nuking and WUProp files) and then reattaching, dumped half of the primegrid tasks and freeded up 30MB of space to see if that helped, cleared out all of the windows temp files and folders, deleted the computer from list and generated a new ID. All no luck
Prior to troubleshooting the system had been up for 30 days and has windows updates disabled. Since all it does it sit around and crunch.

Then I tried moving the BOINC folder to the main drive, with 400GB free, and WUProp was able to download a task.
Moved everything back to the ram drive. Then had the error again when it finished the task and tried to get a new one.
Not sure where WUProp is checking for free space to report 0.00 MB.
The host page for me shows "Total disk space 1 GB, Free Disk Space 0.88 GB" as well.
Anything else that I can check on my end?

I had the same issue with my Android device, perhaps you should post your issue in that thread too. Too old BOINC version can't be the cause in your case as you have 7.22.2 on that computer, that should be new enough and you have the same version on your two other computers, which get tasks.

I thought BOINC client read the disk space and the app communicates/requests so much.

What does this look like for you? The most restrictive of the disk options will be the limiter. Googling shows this same thing at multiple BOINC projects.

My preferences are basically wide open to let BOINC do whatever it needs.
It is really odd since it only just started occurring and the machine has been plodding along over a year before this started.
Today it switched from saying there was not enough space to:
2024-08-23 6:30:38 PM WUProp@Home Message from server: Invalid or missing account key. To fix, remove and add this project.
Detached and added it again, using the same weak account key and it stopped complaining about the "Invalid or missing account key"
I hope that the boxes I shut off for the summer do not start doing this once they are switching on again.
Really odd.

Thanks I'll go through that as well and see if I can figure anything out.

YES you will probably have to detach and reattach because they changed something, usually because a project went from http to https which you COULD just edit the xml file BUT it's usually safer to do the detach and reattach thing.

Looks like it was something on the server side that Sébastien was able to fix. Yay!
