For both tasks - exact the same "Peak disk usage 16,982.58 MB"

I suggest to check what is in 'slots' directory - there may be some 'garbage' big files in some of the slots

Do you remember/record the filenames?
(for me it is interesting what created those big files)

I am so sorry BilBg, I did delete those files without thinking.

Couple seconds after I deleted those files..

F*CK

Now my feeling is 'I gonna hit this hammer to my head' because those files were somehow important to BOINC....

I don't think so - BOINC itself creates only small files (init_data.xml , boinc_task_state.xml) in slots

These 'garbage' big files have to be leftover of some app become crazy
