[committers] Disk usage
I bring a (paraphrased) message from the ASF Board to our committers...
Please reduce the disk usage in personal home directories. They are not
designed for storing large quantities of project data. In particular,
we should not be storing multiple snapshot builds and test results,
which runs to millions of files.
I realize this is hard with the size of Harmony's code base and number
of tests that we are running, but the machine is a shared resource so we
have to be modest with the number of old builds we keep around.
Regards,
Tim

I understand that the ASF are looking to make more disk space available,
so it may be a simple matter of hosting the files in a different
location, rather then in people's home dir.

BTW,
Yesterday I externally referred to our snapshot testing page as a good
example of measurable and accountable product testing. Is it possible
to be selective when assigning quota for mloenko, smishura and varlax
users for their snapshot status tracking?
Thanks.

I'd be surprised if it was automatically deleted from your home
directory <shrug>.

I'd be inclined to regenerate the docs and check them into SVN. We can
regenerate them on a regular basis.

Hi,
I think my personal dir got cleaned up. Is that done automatically? It used
to store Doxygen-generated API reference for DRLVM and subcomponents, and
now it's gone.
What's the best way to handle this? Re-generate the docs (long-awaited
update) and post to the same location? To some other location where it won't
be deleted?

I'm going to remove M4 tests reports from my home dir. IMO the reports
were very valuable. And I remove them with a little compunction
because some open JIRA will contain broken links.
Currently I see the only one way to reduce files number - not to
publish reports generated by JUnitReport and publish only a suite's
output. In the beginning of the M4 I updated the infra to publish
output for VTS VM suite (that saved approx. 70K files per snapshot).
And now I think the same should be done for others.
Thanks,
Stepan.

I even forget that I've stored few builds for our Eclipse colleagues
in my home directory :)
Here is a stats after small cleaning:
<apetrenko@minotaur:~>du -sk .
828 .
