1308028 - out of disk space not handled well (ambiguous error, no way to recover or retry)

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Testing :: mozregression, defect)

Description

[glacrugho]

Reference excerpt from mozregression output, below. This gives the impression that the problem is that the build is broken, but in fact it turns out /tmp was out of space. The error message should indicate the lack of disk space as the problem.

Also, this error will continue to occur for each build it downloads from this point, until e.g. user reboots (which clears /tmp), or the user manually deletes files from /tmp (which they likely don't realize is the real problem). The script should offer a way to recover, such as by deleting other builds from /tmp or installing to another location.

Finally, since the script (incorrectly) presumes the build is broken, it removes it from the builds which can be tested (it doesn't let you retry). when the failure is due to running out of disk space, the user should have the opportunity to retry for the applicable build.
