Increase the amount of disk space available for BOINC to use.

Is this why so many python tasks fail "disk limit exceeded"?

<rsc_disk_bound>20000000000.000000</rsc_disk_bound>

I'll try and be a little clearer.

As I understand it, this is set by the project. At the moment, to 20G, look in init_data.xml.

<rsc_disk_bound> </rsc_disk_bound>
Is the maximum amount of disk space your application should take up while running any given task. Includes all input, temporary and output files. Is set in bytes.

Tasks seem to take more disk space on some hosts (Linux?) than on others (Windows?).
This is from a recent task, although most of my recent failures are between 19 and 20 G.
and fail when the result is uploaded, perhaps because some temporary file just tips it over the limit.

Peak disk usage 20,681.67 MB

Seems that the work on this app is freezed...
