	I am seeing an error message: [error] can't create task for "taskname" [error] exceeded limit of 1800 slot directories EDIT: Arch Linux dual socket Xeon E5-2692 V2 (Ivy Bridge) 24 core running BOINC 7.6.6 How many projects do you running? With 100 you have 2400 slots. If there is really a limit and the CPU core are more and more then we are in trouble in the future. You should post this to the boinc devs.

	[error] exceeded limit of 1800 slot directories This is MOST LIKELY a BOINC error not a SRBase project error. I believe you will find a solution here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=10560&postid=64881 If possible update to a later BOINC version. 7.6.11 has a fix: client: fix a bug introduced in commit [44c82be] which prevented the re-use of empty slots. This bug affects only Mac / Linux / UNIX builds. It does not affect Windows. ____________
