1) Message boards : Questions and problems : Errors Moving Data Folder (Message 109287) Posted 17 Jul 2022 by busterkeaton Post: I appreciate your attempt to help, Charlie. But why do you think I'd be able to complete those steps, when the errors I'm getting, as I mentioned in my first post, keep me from creating a symlink, the folder icon in your first step? Is there something I'm overlooking? I would love nothing more than to finally get past those errors. But I don't see how I can now, when the permission setting for the external drive you mentioned is already checked, and is not the solution I hoped it would be. Can you still find a way to help me, or have I run out of options, and have no choice but to give up in frustration?

I really appreciate "hearing" from a project developer. But unfortunately, while "Ignore ownership on this volume" is indeed available in High Sierra, it was already unchecked. So now what?
4) Message boards : Questions and problems : Errors Moving Data Folder (Message 108304) Posted 2 Jun 2022 by busterkeaton Post: So how do I set things up to run the Boinccmd tool from my external drive in macOS? Anyone know? if not, again, can I create a 120GB partition in the free space without moving my data? If so, what with, in macOS, and what kind of partition? Hmm. How frustrating. I seem to be getting nowhere with this. Is no one who wrote or helped write the Tools for Mac OS X wiki page willing to support their claims to be able to move the data file and run BOINC with those instructions, and explain to me why I'm getting an error, or how to resolve it?

Then I don't get why the moving instructions have been provided, if there's another, maybe simpler, way. 'Course especially if those instructions don't work, as the case seems to be. But anyway, huh. That's promising. Maybe there's finally a solution, except that as I said, I use macOS. So I would need the instructions for a script for that OS, instead of one for "Windoze." Any idea what those might be?
6) Message boards : Questions and problems : Errors Moving Data Folder (Message 108112) Posted 17 May 2022 by busterkeaton Post: Well, maybe it wouldn't have to be moved. There are still 12.71TB left on the external drive. Can I create a 120GB partition in the free space without moving my data? If so, what with, in macOS, and what kind of partition? If not, I can connect another drive I have. But the question is, if that step's necessary, why's it not included in the instructions? Why is my issue not fixable any other way?
7) Message boards : Questions and problems : Errors Moving Data Folder (Message 107998) Posted 3 May 2022 by busterkeaton Post: Yes. Those are the directions I said I followed. And I would really like to be able to use BOINC again. Anybody able and willing to help me do so?
8) Message boards : Questions and problems : Errors Moving Data Folder (Message 107876) Posted 16 Apr 2022 by busterkeaton Post: Hmm. That would take forever, since I have several TB of data on it. So that's not really an option for me. But thanks anyway for the suggestion. Anyone else have any ideas?
9) Message boards : Questions and problems : Errors Moving Data Folder (Message 107864) Posted 15 Apr 2022 by busterkeaton Post: Well, hmm. I'm pretty sure I followed the directions for moving the data folder to another drive, and set that drive to enable owners. So now Disk Utility says "Owners: Enabled" for that drive. Yet I'm still getting the errors: "BOINC Manager Error: Could not set current working directory (error 2: No such file or directory)" and "BOINC Manager: BOINC ownership or permissions are not set properly; please reinstall BOINC. (Error code -1022)." * I turned on my external drive * then I logged into my admin account * then I quit BOINC * then I copied the BOINC Data folder to my external drive * then I renamed the BOINC Data folder in the root directory, /Library/Application Support, to "BOINC Data old" * then in the terminal I entered: sudo ln -fhs "/Volumes/Mercury Elite Pro/other/BOINC Data" "/Library/Application Support/BOINC Data" * then I clicked on the Mac_SA_Secure.sh link, clicked on the three dots just above the shell file (since replaced with Raw and Blame buttons), selected "copy raw content," pasted it into Text Edit, and saved it to the desktop as Mac_SA_Secure.sh * then I entered: cd "/Volumes/Mercury Elite Pro/other/BOINC Data" * then I entered: sudo sh ~/Desktop/Mac_SA_Secure.sh * then I clicked on the discussion link, copied, pasted, and entered this command to enable owners for the drive, sudo /usr/sbin/vsdbutil -a "/Volumes/Mercury Elite Pro" and confirmed it in Disk Utility * then I opened BOINC and got those two errors BOINC version: v.boinc_7.16.21 I can't open BOINC Manager, so I can't access the BOINC Event Log that way. CPU: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 What am I doing wrong?
