VISTA, data on usb

[oluies]

I am trying to run the boinc data storage on a USB device, NTFS formatted, Vista 64. Sometimes it has worked, other times it does not.

BOINC DISK reports 3.38 GB disk, but SETI@home reports that there is no disk left on the device:

2009-01-19 23:55:42|SETI@home|Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.  Requesting 120960 seconds of work, reporting 0 completed tasks
2009-01-19 23:55:47|SETI@home|Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks
2009-01-19 23:55:47|SETI@home|Message from server: No work sent
2009-01-19 23:55:47|SETI@home|Message from server: SETI@home Enhanced needs 32.00MB more disk space.  You currently have 0.00 MB available and it needs 32.00 MB.

The USB is mounted as a junction (hard ntfs link)

C:\ProgramData>dir /a c:\ProgramData
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is B88F-6695

 Directory of c:\ProgramData

2009-01-15  19:42    <DIR>          .
2009-01-15  19:42    <DIR>          ..

And boinc_projects has access

Please post this in the BOINC Development forums as it doesn't seem to be a bug, but more a request for help. Trac is used to file bugs on BOINC, not request for help.

SETI@home reports that there is no disk left on the device

This is the BOINC bug database. Not the Seti forums. Check your disk and memory preferences on the Seti web site or in your BOINC Advanced Local Preferences. This is not a BOINC bug.

"no disk left on the device" usually means the server is full.
