Might this be due to the limits set in Boinc Manager?

I have not changed anything, he calculated a long drive, and then the next unit I have this message ... I uninstall and reinstall Boinc no avail ...

As you have/are participating in a lot of different projects you might have some crashed tasks, which have not been deleted correctly in your data-directory:
\\ProgramData (something like this as mine is in Spanish)\BOINC\projects

The correct path for you, you will find in your BOINC Manager Data log:
5th line: 26/06/2015 07:43:42 p.m. | | Data directory: D:\[…]\Datos de programa\BOINC

This causes an overflow in your Programm Data and your will hit your “max. set disk space limit”. I have this occasionally with climteprediction.net as each task is accumulating quite a lot of data and if the task crashes the data set is not completely deleted.

I recommend you to check all your sub-projects for obsolete data and delete it.

This should solve your problem. Reinstalling BOINC does not! As BOINC will point to the same folder with the old data sets.

Hope this helps!

Gracias por su respuesta a mi problema se resuelve, borré el directorio GPUGRID y unidades GPUGRID se descargan de nuevo.

Merci pour votre réponse mon problème est résolu, j'ai effacé le répertoire GpuGrid , et les unités GpuGrid sont à nouveau téléchargés.

Thank you for your reply my problem is solved, I erased the GPUGrid directory, and GPUGrid units are downloaded again.

If you choose to address the symptom, rather than to diagnose the problem, the simplest way to achieve that is to detach your client from the project, and then re-attach it again.

Well I've received the same error message.

I've received this error message on my other two hosts.
Nothing has changed on these hosts by me, and the free disk space haven't been decreased on them lately that much (by 1300MB, as the log says).
This is a pretty annoying bug, because my spare GPU projects still can crunch on the GPUs.

Well, if you're calling it a bug, I suggest you do some digging into - for example - BOINC's startup reports about what disk space exists on your computer, and what your preferences allow it to use. Post the opening lines from the Event Log here for others to analyse, if you're not familiar with doing that yourself.

For what it's worth, long run tasks are processing normally here, so it isn't a project-wide problem - it's something specific to individual machines.

Your answer on your question is here:

You have limited the disk space, which can be use by all BOINC projects together to 5.78GB, and it seems that 2.126 GB are already used by various BOINC projects. Your problem now is that the new Long WUs demand 4.468 GB, but as you have restricted disc use to 5.78 GB and used already 2.126 GB, BOINC asks for 1113.40MB more disk space, so it can download the WU.

You have two ways to go:
Your either delete not used file in your directory "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.WINDOWS.0\Application Data\BOINC" or you change your settings in Computer Preference under Memory and Disk Usage the maximum allowed disk space, as well as the percentage of disk space your allow BOINC to use of your Hard Disk. However I do see that your Hard Disk is quite small, and therefore this might not be possible.

It may be a problem with how certain workunit batches were generated, then. I only have one at the moment: it's e16s74_e13s273f15-NOELIA_ETQunboundx1-0-2-RND4364, and it's been given

<rsc_disk_bound>5000000000

- that's five (decimal) gigabytes. May be an extra zero in there. I'll monitor the other task types as I get them.

It's the same for GERARD_FXCXCL12_LIG's:

MJH:

So... the work units were created with an incorrect <rsc_disk_bound> parameter? Admins, can you confirm?

I believe the BOINC server code uses the <rsc_disk_bound>, to say "Well, this task could grow to be THIS size... and if you don't have that much free, then I can't give you this task."

And so, again, if these tasks don't really need 4768 MB of disk space, then the bug is in the server-side configuration of these tasks.

We need an admin to confirm the (probably app mis-configuration) problem.

My understanding is that <rsc_disk_bound>n</rsc_disk_bound> defines the maximum allowable write to disk size for the task.

If the task uses more disk space than this it cannot be written to disk and in that event is killed.

If the app calls on this value as being required disk space then the bug is in the app.

If Boinc has changed something that requires there to be n free bytes available on the disk drive then the bug exists within a Boinc update (not very likely).

The workunits still ask for 5*10^9 bytes (4.656GB) free disk space.

Any BOINC installation that doesn't have 4.65 GB free to for BOINC to use ....
Likely isn't getting GPUGrid work, because the admins still have this screwed up.

I hope the admins look at this, and care enough to fix it.

I tried to prompt them, twice, earlier in this thread, but no luck.

Yo estaba de nuevo insuficiente espacio en disco Mensaje .... he aumentado de 8 a 16 GB en las preferencias de Boinc línea, espero que esto va a resolver el problema ...

I was again insufficient disk space Message .... I increased from 8 to 16 GB in the preferences of Boinc online, I hope this will solve the problem ...

J'ai eu à nouveau le message d'insuffisance d'espace disque.... j'ai augmenté de 8 à 16 Go dans les préférences de Boinc en ligne, j'espère que cela va résoudre le problème...

The free space on my hosts have run below 5*10^9 bytes again, but this time I've find out its reason: the Google Chrome browser has the bad habit of keeping all of its previous installers (~44MB each) in its installation folder, so the size of this folder is continuously increasing. On one of my hosts it was wasting 1.5GB. I haven't found any setting in Chrome which would limit the size of this folder, so I've manually deleted everything except the last one.
I still think this

Houston, we have a problem!
Now the free space required by the long runs raised to 8*10^9 bytes.

Is this intentional, or just an extra zero?
I've checked it on my working host:
