[Labs-l] No space left on device - bots project

[Daniel Schwen]

Ok, I don't get this discussion. My user is not a sudoer on bots-1, so
I cannot setup my own /data/projects directory. Obviously it is a
matter of convenience to just use the home directory. And this is a
common usage pattern on many hosting services (such as the
toolserver). It should be absolutely no surprise that this happens.
