I have two projects running : Seti and Einstein. The resources share of Seti is 999 and that for Einstein is 500. Then, I change the resource share of Einstein and synchronise the BOINC client with BAM. At that point there is no problem, EInstein gets the new resource share. However, after rebooting, I find Einstein has a resource share of 999. Whatever I try it won't change until I change the client_state.xml file in order to correct it.

Is this a bug?

I can't get my resources share to be reflected in the Boinc client at all. The client shows the resources evenly divided among all the projects even though that is not the way it appears in BAM.

Is the limit of 1000 units cumulative or is that the limit for an individual project?

I have the same problem (have been experiencing it for several months now, at least). I set resource values on BS and update on BAM, which then temporarily shows the correct numbers. At some point some of them change to incorrect values (I've never paid close enough attention to figure out when). Definitely not ideal.

@averhegn: The 1000 share limit is for each project - it's not cumulative (i.e., you can have multiple projects with shares of 1000 each).

Same here. Figured out that when you change the resource shares for a host in BAM and do 'save' and then synchronize to BAM there is no problem.

If afterwards you hit the 'update' button for one project, it goes to the resource share that is set up for that project in general (and not for that host).

Rebooting is indeed losing the BAM specific setting again, so you have to change again, save, synchronize..

That is the logic I can get out of it for the moment

Yes, it would really help to be able to push more specified resource shares (at least by venue/preference) to the projects so the system stays in synch.

I'm not sure the "synchronize with BAM" feature really gets you the update you want -- it seems to tell the BOINC manager to have each project update to the project sites -- getting you the resource share recorded there. But if you exit the manager and then restart, the first link is almost always to BAM, and the selected resource shares are implemented.
