I just completed a SEIT@home work unit, the smudged green icon turned red,
and I attempted to send in my results and get some new numbers from our friends in Berkeley. However, SETI@home delivers to me the error message, "Can't write to file - disk full?". The answer is, "No," I have many gigabytes of free disk space, so the error message is a lie. Anybody have an idea of how to fix it? Thanks in advance. |

You probably already did this, but I'd try a "restart" ... often times
strange illogical behavior by the OS is fixed by a restart ... if that doesn't work, then, well, I'm not exactly sure ... :-( Al "Dale Hurliman" wrote in message ...

Delete all the .SAH files except user_info.sah. Then download a new WU.
Occassionally, S@H will corrupt one of the .SAH files and report this error instead of "corrupted file". Mike Ober. "Dale Hurliman" wrote in message ... Dale Hurliman wrote: Alfred A.

I just followed your suggestion but the problem remains. My SEIT@home apparently connects to Berkeley but it refuses to download a new work unit giving me instead the error message, "Can't write to file - Disk full?" "Dale Hurliman" wrote in message ...
