Can unused folding slots be removed?

Is it possible to remove unused folding slots via config.xml?

No, that would defeat the purpose of the Advanced Controls, would it? However, if I remember correctly, v7 would automatically still re-add a GPU slot, in which case you just pause it and leave it be.Schrödinger's cat wrote: ↑Sat Sep 06, 2025 6:12 pm If removed via Advanced Control > Configure, won't they be added back when the Folding@home client is restarted?
Thanks JoeH, that's just what I'm after. In Advanced Control, it's just a matter of addingJoe_H wrote: ↑Sat Sep 06, 2025 6:43 pm If you have an unused GPU folding slot that you delete using the v7 Configure, by default it will be added back. To keep this from happening, once you have the GPUs you want configured, then set GPUs to false. The ones already configured with slots will remain, the client will not rescan to add GPUs after a restart. I don't recall if that is a checkoff box available in the advanced or expert tabs, it can be also added as an option through config.xml. I don't have anymore v7 clients around, so can't check the syntax. But it has been posted here a number of times in the past.
Code: Select all
gpu false
