Rosetta@Home - 12/19: OFFICIAL WARNING from R@H

I had a very unusual problem come up right as I was about to go to sleep last night. It doesn't seem to be the same one discussed in this thread but I thought it best if I mentioned it.

I decided to check on my wife's computer who has been gone for almost a month with my granddaughter getting her chemo and rad treatments in Dallas. It had been about a week since the last time I looked in on it.

Well, last night I was startled to see a warning message on the screen that said the computer was very low on disk storage and I needed to provide additional resources. I quickly opened "My Computer / C: local disk", and sure enough the FREE SPACE was reported to be ZERO!

Upon further investigation I found the culprit. The file "C:\Program Files\BOINC\slots\0\stderr.txt" was over 22 GB! :Q

Upon further reflection this morning I'm sorry to report my first thoughts were to get rid of the file and get the computer rebooted. I should have attempted to open the file to see what error was being reported. I should have made a notation of the exact Rosetta Application Name. But I didn't. 🙁

So I'm reporting this with two thoughts in mind. 1st to just let you all know that such a problem did occur and 2nd to be more thoughtful than me, if and when you ever get the same error, and make a few notes of the event so as to be helpful to the project managers. 😱

HOLY $#&! That's the largest text file I've ever heard of Smoke. Good thing you DIDN'T try to open it, it definately would have hung the PC. I just checked one of my systems and I have a stderrdae.txt that is only 11k and a stderrgui.txt that is 0 bytes.

So I can't put an x2 and a regular 3800+ in a dualie? 😱

Keep crunching peeps, The TeAm is on a mission.

That's our new secret Weapon, John.
Bryan found a way to stick 3 64's on one chip intil of just 2.

bty John welcome to the RA great to be crunching with you.

Well tell him to keep it to himself, I have enough trouble trying to keep up with a pair of antique Athlons dangit! 🙂

Thanks and glad to pitch in. 🙂

Give it a shot and let us know. Of course two x2's on a duallie would be better don't you think.

Dasm, I've got Boinc file stdoutdae.txt = 679k. That is freeking wild. Seems to me that the Boinc software should delete these temp files from time to time because a bunch of crunchers aren't going to be looking for them.

The rosetta forum has a thread about this. One guy had a file of 32GB...
