Need some Rosetta help...

[Martijn]

My client isn't downloading work, it says I don't have enough space available... The hd on which it's installed has 30GB left (out of 80). Can anyone help me? Are my settings wrong?

See the pic for more info...

I had the same error. Try the update feature.

[Martijn]

Yes, it works for one time, but I want it to run without any help from me. It is irritating to leave your rig on at night, then seeing that it hasn't done anything the next morning...

Go to http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/

Click on "Your account" on the left, under "Returning Participants". Then "View or edit general preferences" under "Prefences".

Edit "Disk and memory usage" ( increase alloted HDD space )

Then you must "update" in Boinc Manager.

Thanks a lot, will see if it works...

the servers take naps from time to time it seems almost too, lol :D

Yea ive seen that as well, i was trying to connect this morning around 2:30AM EST and it just wouldnt connect but when i woke up this morning it was fine.

I set it to buffer up to 3 days, so i'm safe. Even when i'm getting "No work from project" messages, i am not worried, there is a huge buffer still waiting :yepp:

I've set my buffer on max (10 days) but I check the machine a few times a day... it's doing fine. :)

[bullet2urbrain]

i would set the buffer to 1 day.. at most 3 days.. unless you have lots of HDD space to spare.. with no real purpose for it...


anyway this Rosetta is taking shape quite nicely... we are producing in the top 20 with FAR less total WU's done than the other top 20 teams.. looks like XS is going to storm into the top with Rosetta too.

Great job guys... now if only we could get some tweaking tips for machines with less RAM.

[[XC] serlv]

My thoughts - I imagine for machines with less RAM, you would want to make your VM larger and let BOINC use a larger percentage of it. But those are just my thoughts. Of course, that would depend on if the machine was your daily driver. But then again, if it is your daily driver why would you be running on a lesser amount of RAM to begin with?

But some other suggestions...


Here ya go, from PCZ, who certainly knows a thing or two about running Rosetta...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

Go to the rosetta website, log in and click on Your Account.
Select view or edit general preferences.
You should then see a page of general prefs.
Select edit preferences
Pay careful attention to the following and change as neccessary

Disk and memory usage Use no more than 100 GB disk space
Leave at least 1 GB disk space free
Use no more than 90% of total disk space

Write to disk at most every 60 seconds
Use no more than 90% of total virtual memory

Hit the update preferences tab to save changes.

Those are the figures i use on dedicated crunchers you may not want to allocate such a large amount of disc resource to boinc.

Boinc doesn't actually use anything like the maximum amount anyway but setting the figures high avoids the issues you are seeing now.

Also if you have seperate preferences for home or work you will need to edit those as well.

Finally do a project update on your client to get the new prefs.
You can do this from the boinc manager.

Note:
This is the most common problem new participants have with boinc.
The default settings need to be higher.
