Description

Based on the discussion below we should look at the disk space thresholds that jenkins uses before bringing machines offline. It looks from the message referenced below that the threshold was about 200MB which is far less than the 3-4GB used for a single additional extract. We should revisit that figure to ensure that in a heavy load scenario jenkins can take the machine offline before it causes a problem in the jobs.

@sxa unfortunately this has taken test-mnx-ubuntu2204-x64-1 offline in Jenkins:

It is also causing git checkout failures, e.g. https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-plinux/65613/console

Research direction

Start by locating the Jenkins disk-space threshold configuration and review the referenced computer test-mnx-ubuntu2204-x64-1 and job node-test-commit-plinux/65613 console output. Done means the threshold is high enough to account for the 3–4GB extract and machines go offline before disk-quota checkout failures occur.
