Bug 1519472 Comment 13 Edit History

Note: The actual edited comment in the bug view page will always show the original commenter’s name and original timestamp.

I've just seen comment 9, and realise this is probably a bug in the generic-worker implementation, which I think we'll need to fix before we can roll this out (I think we'll have to back this out).

We have a mechanism that checks we have enough disk space on the partition where task directories are stored, before each task runs. If not, we repeatedly delete caches until we have freed up enough space.

However, in the case that the caches are on a different partition to the task directories, this doesn't help the cache partition from overflowing.

So we should check the partition with caches, and the partition with task directories, both have enough space at the start of every task.

I'll create a bug for this in the generic worker bugzilla component and make it a blocker for this bug.
