What ist this? I'm running BOINC (SETI, LHC and Einstein) on a 160 MByte ramdisk since more than a year. Suddenly it complains about not enough disk space? What have you changed on your end, cause i didn't do anything?

Ulrich, you have myself (and Walt Gribben) to blame for your problems! A few days ago Walt pointed out a bug in the scheduler code that checks disk allocations, and suggested a fix. i applied his fix to Einstein@Home right away, but with the following comment boinc checkin_notes.

This is completely consistent with what you observed. Set 'leave X free' to 0 and you get minimum 100 free. Set it to 0.001 and you get something smaller.

Sigh.
