Since BOINC does not allow moving the disk space after install, I moved it during all tasks suspended and boinc manager exited by copying the directory to a bigger drive and putting a symbolic link in its place to that directory. When I restarted BOINC Manager, the old disk size is still in control. Of course, this is a side effect of not having configuration control of the DISK space and other install parameters as a configuration tool, even if it requires reset of all active projects. |

Oops. I moved .BOINC, not /var/lib/boinc-client (why is boinc data a lib?) Now it is adjusted correctly. |

I also moved the data dir /var/lib/boinc-client to my secondary HD and replaced it with a link and reinstalled boinc, rebooted, and now the GPU is not included and the disk size is OK, so not just moving the dir. |

Prior to installation, you can set up /var/lib/boinc-client as its own partition if you want it on a different disk etc. |
