FreeBSD runners have low disk space

[hasufell]

I'm currently using Cirrus CI for ghcup, which is the main Haskell installer and HLS, which is the Haskell LSP Server. I build them on FreeBSD on Cirrus CI.

I frequently have issues with running out of space, although I already try hard to remove intermediate artifacts.

You can change your disk size:

freebsd_instance:
  image_family: freebsd-13-1
  disk: 100

This way you won't be restricted by the default disk size that the images have. 👌

Can you explain what the value does? GB? Percent of something? There seems to be no documentation for this.

I set it to 100 and 150 and still get out of disk space errors:

ghcup: /tmp/cirrus-ci-build/.ghcup/logs/ghcup.log: withFile: resource exhausted (No space left on device)

My bad. Indeed freebsd_instance just uses the default disk size and it's not possible to customize it.

Thankfully freebsd_instance is a compute_instance under the hood and you can workaround it with a little more lines:

compute_engine_instance:
  image_project: freebsd-org-cloud-dev
  image: family/freebsd-13-1
  platform: freebsd
  disk_size: 100 # Gb

[hasufell]

That did not work either: https://cirrus-ci.com/build/6635511201136640

100GB should be enough for this job to succeed.

Since this is not fixed, please re-open the ticket.

My bad. The option is disk and not disk_size. The following config works:

compute_engine_instance:
  image_project: freebsd-org-cloud-dev
  image: family/freebsd-13-1
  platform: freebsd
  disk: 100 # Gb

freebsd13_task:
  disk_script: df -h
