build-marist-rhel74-s390x-1 running out of space

[sxa]

Machine has a 6Gb / filesystem and the yum cache seems to be regularly getting up to a few hundred Mb which is pushing / over the limit, resulting in failed builds

[sxa]

Options:

1. Increase the file system size
2. Move the cache directory to a different file system
3. Run yum clean packages after every update

I've gone for option 3 for now as it's the easiest. Root's crontab now looks like this:

0 1 * * * /usr/bin/yum -y update && df -k && yum clean packages && df -k

[sxa]

Still not enough free - update is requiring about 690Mb of space on /

[sxa]

Moved the 2Gb /swapfile onto /data/swapfile and editoed /etc/fstab to match. Hopefully that will be ok on reboot
Other option is to move /var/cache/yum onto the /data filesystem
Now running the update manually to get the system back up to date

[sxa]

Update done. Closing again
