Test suite often fails on Jenkins due to lack of "disk" space in /tmp/TailsToaster/TailsToasterStorage
i.e. sysadmin#17626 (closed) is back. On the stable branch:
- the problem happened only once between the time I fixed sysadmin#17626 (closed) and Sept 22
- the problem started happening regularly since Sept 22
- it's become worse since Oct 22
We released Tails 4.11 on Sept 22. The 4.10 ISO was 1161 MiB, the 4.11 one is 1177 MiB. In the step preceding the failure, we do "I plug and mount a USB drive containing a Tails USB image", which creates a file whose size reflects the size of the USB image.
So I believe the immediate trigger for this problem is the growing Tails image.
I could temporarily increase the size of the /tmp/TailsToaster
tmpfs (mostly backed by RAM, which we lack on lizard, and partly backed by swap), but !204 (merged) will bring the ISO size down to 1114 MiB, so I'd rather skip the temporary hack and solve this via !204 (merged).
