Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu and I have my system installed on a relatively small SSD. BOINC is also installed on that.
I also have a larger disk, where I would like BOINC to keep the data for the jobs. Is it possible somehow? I didn't find any option in BOINC manager.

Thanks!

There isn't the simple run the installer again solution for Linux like there is for Windows. I found this solution with a Google search. Never tried the method but it looks like it might work.
