| Summary | 0008877: Make CI containers use ramdisk/tmpfs [estimate: 5h] | ||||
| Description | In order to lessen I/O pressure we want the CI containers to use ramdisks instead of writing to the HDD. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Javier recommended passing these arguments to podman: `-d --tmpfs /tmp:rw,size=787448k,mode=1777` |
|
|
The most simple and stable way to approach this is to mount a tmpfs into a path inside the container. Podman supports this natively (see previous comment). This will require some reworking of the way we are using and managing our workspaces inside the container. Buildbot needs to be able to setup the workspace based on the git checkout associated with a given build. Currently we mount this directory from the host into the container under /workdir. This allows buildbot on the host to manage the workspace. However, if we use a ramdisk for the workspace we will need to either copy over the mounted directory or fetch it from within the container. |
