Disk Space Requirements
Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2010 11:26 pm
eOn seems to use only a few MB of disk space, yet it requires the client to have almost 1GB of disk space available. Is this truly correct?

I have lowered the disk space requirement to 50Mb per wu.ScouseSandwich wrote:I had this same problem, had 300Mb free but eOn wouldnt download any tasks because it was asking for 1Gb of free space. I made room and it only wanted 7Mb.
That makes sense. Thanks for letting me know.Augustine wrote:The reason I reserve only 0.5GB for BOINC is because of disk quota policies.
Thanks for your understanding.

Out of curiosity how are you running your boinc client such that you only have 300Mb free? Are people running the client off of a usb flash memory drive or something? I doesn't make sense to me that anyone has a computer without a gigabyte or two of disk space to spare when a gigabyte of storage costs something like 5 cents.
