Avoid mirrors and rsync.lizard running out of disk space during the release process when upgrades to a beta/RC are present
While preparing 4.11 I was not able to upload all to_4.11.iuk:s because the /dev/vdb (mounted on /srv) on rsync.lizard is full: sysadmin#17762 (closed)
I think we haven't accounted for the fact that when preparing a major release, we'll have to be able to store three sets of IUKs at the same time:
- for the still current stable release (currently 4.10)
- for the new version's release candidate (currently 4.11~rc1)
- for the new version (currently 4.11)
So we'll need to re-calculate how much we'll need for the remainder of the 4.x cycle. We already got 10 GiB, but it likely won't be enough if there is another major release + release candidate during 4.x.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have admin enable hashed storage. More information
