''Creates the working directory /var/lib/boinc-client/ for BOINC data files and the slots and projects directories. Also creates links from this directory to the files in /etc/boinc-client'' I'm on Linux Ubuntu 18.04 and have a SSD where Boinc is installed from software center, of 32 GB. / partition is not enought for LHC. Keep getting messages like you need more 1200 MB of space to run ALTLAs and other projects form LHC. Yesterday I seen a documentary about first second after BIG BANG -- with the colider from Europe -- Higs -- and realy want to paticipate. I've tracked projects folder in var/lib/boinc-client/ but don't know how to set download folder on second HDD for LHC and create link to boinc. In conclusion I want the rest of projects and BOINC on SSD (it's new -- no bad sectors) and LHC on HDD. Please teach me HOW TO. Thank you. |

What are your preferences set to? Best post the contents of your global_prefs.xml and if it exists, the global_prefs_override.xml files. |

In conclusion I want the rest of projects and BOINC on SSD (it's new -- no bad sectors) and LHC on HDD. Putting one project on this disk and another project on that disk is something that can't really be done. |

The only way I know to do it is to run a second instance of BOINC, only attached to LHC, and give that second instance a separate data folder on the HDD via the command line. It's a solution which is documented and has been discussed on these boards periodically, but it isn't trivial to set up. |
