free, not available to BOINC: 32.9GB


Then some other program is reserving that 32.9GB, Check the OS for page file size again, and check any other program that might reserve HD space for it's operation.

You can always uninstall Boinc, move your Boinc Data directory to your other drive, then reinstall Boinc, pointing it to the New Data location, and see what happens then.

I thought I had already replied yesterday. The problem was the newly created boinc_master user with BOINC 6.10.58. This user did not exist with BOINC 5 and I set my OS to give new users a disk quota of only 300MB by default. After increasing the quota manually everything works fine.

Thanks to everybody for your help attempts.

Yes, you did. But the image they'd taken from the database before they moved it onto the new server had happened before that. So some posts got lost.
