@vcunat:matrix.orgVladimír Čunátsleepy-brown: now I simply changed its --jobs from 8 to 4. I needed to restart at least a dozen kernel builds in the past few days, always out-of-space on /tmp.06:44:44
@vcunat:matrix.orgVladimír ČunátFor a longterm solution, I'm not convinced that /tmp on tmpfs is worth the trouble.06:45:35
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaincreased tmpfs to 160GB 14 hours ago13:47:49
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gaywhat even is the point of /tmp on tmpfs in this case? reserving disk space for built derivations?23:34:32
@hexa:lossy.networkhexahigher throughput because we are building in memory23:35:31
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gayah, i guess that makes sense23:35:52
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaless wear on the disks23:35:53
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gayim guessing that comes with the downside of being more expensive, due to memory usage?23:36:32
@hexa:lossy.networkhexaincreased to 6, because 40G per job on average is hopefully fine23:36:50
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gay * im guessing that comes with the downside of being more expensive, due to memory usage?
aka needing nodes with more ram
23:36:54
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabig compute generally comes with sufficient ram23:37:13
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathis is mostly about source trees that expand to a large footprint, and then many of these in parallel23:37:51
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa

right now for example

22G nix-build-rocblas-6.0.2.drv-0

23:38:43
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabut also chromium, electron, the linux kernel23:39:15
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gayi thought the kernel was some 4 gigs?23:39:26
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gayand im guessing there's some kind of compartimentalisaion going on? (ie. one node for a few large builds, one node for many smaller builds in parallel)23:41:10
@hexa:lossy.networkhexabig-parallel is the tag for large builds23:42:05
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gayah, guessing not all builders have that tag set then23:42:45

@picnoir:alternativebit.frPicnoir* (Danielle=endocrimes)19:02:19
@picnoir:alternativebit.frPicnoirAh! And from the NixOS GH moderation team as well.19:03:00
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa #org_owners:nixos.org 19:08:34
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulus did the GH moderation team, Mic92 is taking care of email and bitwarden 19:09:05
