Getting these messages in BOINC:

BOINC says it's using 99.63GB, 1.16TB free, available to BOINC

I reinstalled BOINC (8.2.11). File Manager says there's 1.18TB free of 1.81TB for the disk BOINC is installed upon.

Not sure where the disconnect is coming from. (Computing Preferences are to leave at least 20GB free, use no more than 95% of total)

Sorry to be such a pain.

You got these messages after updating BOINC?

Those messages are from BOINC client, not the project. Allow more disk for BOINC.

Don't know why (or how) to allow more disk space for BOINC. There's 1.16TB available to BOINC according to BOINC->Disk tab on the client.

Preferences say to use all but 20GB of disk.

Also noticed this computer (ID: 6572) has a weird string for operating system: T

T. Should be: Microsoft Windows 11

Professional x64 Edition, (10.00.26100.00)

This T in OS could be the problem. Try to install another BOINC version, v7 or 8.2.15 to see if it is changed.

How it is possible to use 100GB for BOINC projects? Which projects you attached to that host?

I would double check which preferences are being used. Is it the preferences in the venue definition or the local preferences defined on the host?
