storage space on alterway1

i see current space is very limited: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 9.9G 1.2G 8.2G 13% / tmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 122M 43M 73M 38% /boot /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 9.9G 202M 9.2G 3% /var/log should we expand the volume group now to it's maximum size for /var/lib/jenkins ($JENKINS_HOME)? looks like it has over 250GB: [eedri@alterway01 ~]$ sudo vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree VolGroup00 1 3 0 wz--n- 278.62g 256.62g eyal.

Sounds to me like it's been done in a proper way, excluding the amount of filesystems. But, the idea is so that you can just easily add space/filesystems where you need it when you need it. Rather then waste everything on one space. So if you feel that you need more space, think about, should i create a new filesystem? Do you see a possible need that the data you need to fit on that filesystem might need optimisations? A different filesystem? To be easily moved etc. At any rate, you should not, never, no, just give it the "maximum" because you can. - - - So, my vote, create new filesystem, give it the estimated required amount of disk you feel is needed. Nothing more. On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 9:34 AM, Eyal Edri <eedri@redhat.com> wrote:

should we expand the volume group now to it's maximum size for /var/lib/jenkins ($JENKINS_HOME)?
looks like it has over 250GB:

+1 for separate FS and not fill the VG. Given the host is dedicated to jenkins maybe use 80% of the free space (lvcreate -l 80%FREE)? On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 12:25:18PM +0100, Alexander Rydekull wrote:

Dedicated for jenkins today, who knows what we will think in one years time. And maybe we havnt used up all that space then. Point being, its flexible for a reason. Dont fill it up more then you estimate you'll use. On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 12:29 PM, Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden < ewoud+ovirt@kohlvanwijngaarden.nl> wrote:

all the data will be on /var/lib/jenkins (most of the data is keeping jobs config and builds history), do you think creating a new FS for it will be better than extending the current one? we should also keep in mind, that we might migrate this server to a VM in the future, so maybe it will be easier to keep all the data on on VG.

Well, preferable would be a new VG, but if you dont have additional disks, a new FS at the very least. On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 1:07 PM, Eyal Edri <eedri@redhat.com> wrote:
