Workspace size

[Hervé BOUTEMY <he...@free.fr>]

Hi,

While looking at disk usage [1], which shows that ASF workspace is near 700GB 
(ouch!), I tried to find if some of the jobs I know are using more space than 
expected: so I looked at the second most resource intensive one = maven-wagon:
- Jobs = 58 MB
- Builds all = 58 MB
- Workspace = 72 GB

72 GB for workspace?
I suppose it is what is visible here  [2]

Does anybody know what is taking such a huge space? (I preferd not download 
the workspace using the provided link, since I suppose 72 GB download would 
cause harm to the whole Jenkins farm)

Is there something we should do on such disk usage?

Or is disk cheap and doesn't cause any harm on overall farm performance, so we 
should focus on other points?

Regards,

Hervé

I wanted to write a groovy script to reconfigure all jobs for a
maximum of last 10 builds history.
Some are not configured to cleanup builds history.

I fixed it to not use anymore a maven repo in the workspace
(.repository) but a shared one!
So should be better after the next build.
