Agreed.  Disks are relatively cheap too.  Anyone have a spare 10TB IronWolf they could donate to the datacenter?  Currently on sale for $160.

I get there are temp situations that call for it, but sentiment is kind of ironic when a single user is using 28% of the playground all to themselves, while asking others to be more respectful of their playground use.

Machine has over 1000 accounts with more than 50 active.  Equitable use would dictate no active user exceeding 30GB without calling that use into question and scrutiny.  Even that doesn’t scale to all 1000, but all things equal, that’s the hardware constraint for current use.

p.s. 6 versions of 71 architectures, 32GB of sources, 45GB -dap files, multiple 150GB build folders … and more.  Got to be *some* fat that could be trimmed in all that.  Log file alone begs for a -dapgz option to compress append on the fly (probably even speed it up to have less I/O writing to disk).
