I've "solved" this by having a 2T rotating disk for the stuff I don't use constantly - release and ESR trees, local backups, if need be I'll move other large things there (media files, RR storage which is currently in ~/.rr) I have 4 inbound trees (one dedicated to ASAN) and head/beta trees, plus a couple of "mothball" trees for reference from old instances of alder (those could be moved, though I trust rotating disks far less than SSD. That said, I have had a (personal/retail) SSD die.) Right now on my ~350GB Linux /home partition (there's a windows one too, though I rarely use it) I have ~220GB used. (there's also a 50GB / partition). src/mozilla is 120GB (including objdirs, though I kill them fairly aggressively if they're out-of-date). I should move my final aurora repo to rotating disk.. I probably am not giving anywhere near enough space to ccache, though. Rotating disks are cheap (and easy if you have a desktop; less so though not horrible if you have a a laptop, especially with a dock). They don't necessarily solve Boris's problem, however. He could really use a 1TB SSD I suspect. When I got my current laptop, I asked for some options I saw on Lenovo's site that weren't the default config. -- Randell Jesup, Mozilla Corp remove "news" for personal email _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
