Yes, we can investigate this. But it may not be feasible - at least the level
of support that can be available outside developer's office hours would most
likely be just basic infrastructure support.
It should be noted that we have been (and partially still are) in the process
of being separated from the Digia group. While the CI part was mainly done
months ago, there is overall a lot of issues ongoing that stretch the
capabilities of IT personnel. That is of course no excuse as such, but an item
to note anyways.

Or at least we should make sure disks that are not automatically cleaned, are
cleaned in advance during the office hours. I do agree with you that running
out of a disk space should not be a reason for CI failure - and mostly it has
not been, despite you hitting that over the weekend.
