I didn't understand at all what you said Brian. Browsed it, found it and learned something new.

Thank you very much, everyone!

P.S.: if someone stumbles upon same problem (ignorance of linux) -
sudo df -Th
sudo vgdisplay
sudo lvdisplay
sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE -r /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

I set the size of disk usage to 1TB and/or 70% of the disk.

I now configured cvmfs to 6GB.

Will see if anything changes.

Any suggestions are still very much appreciated.

Hi,

I have Ubuntu server 22.04 with boinc running as daemon, installed from git.

Boinc client reports 97.87GB disk size and 53.76GB free, but I have 2TB disk. So I am unable to get new tasks.
I have no idea why this is happening.
I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but I also installed cvmfs, go and singularity to run native ATLAS tasks.

Any help would be appreciated!

Kind regards,
Nejc
