Dear all, I have been using Jenkins for some months now and I am interested in the issue of disk usage.
While trying to understand why the 50GB on the server were becoming short, I decided to investigate the size of each job directory under /usr/share/tomcat6/.jenkins/jobs/. To my surprise, this was larger than expected. One maven job with 5 modules and about 700 runs is currently taking 16 GB of disk space! I realize I can "discard old builds" of a job, but then I'll lose interesting metrics like code coverage trends or test result trends. My questions are: 1) Is this a normal usage - 23-ish MB per job run? 2) If so, are there other options that allow me to keep a relatively interesting history but without taking so much disk space? 3) Is this a usual concern, or do you just splash new TB disks whenever you run out of space? I mean, I've been using Jenkins for 10 months and have around 20 projects now, surely this is not intensive usage. I appreciate the feedback, Miguel Almeida
