Hi there,
We just had a misbehaving test which ended up accidentally dumping 6G+
of data in to ${AUTOPKGTEST_ARTIFACTS}. autopkgtest tried to copy this
up and do the usual stuff with it, which ended up ENOSPCing the host. If
this hadn't ENOSPCed, it would have continued to be bad because then
we'd have tried to upload this to our cloud storage (swift), and the
sysadmins wouldn't have liked that. :-)
Suggestion: impose a (configurable, default 10M or so) limit on the
artifacts directory, and error out if it's over limit. I'm not sure
which error code should be used, mind you.
Cheers,
