Why don't we investigate what is taking so much space there? AFAIK<br>
it's 30TB storage, it shouldn't be filling up rapidly, isn't that just<br>
some broken tool that infinitely writes garbage to /data/project?<br>

There was such a project, but I killed it a couple of weeks ago. Today, the file server looks like this:<br>
<br>
/dev/mapper/os-var 92G 3.2G 84G 4% /var<br>
/dev/mapper/store-project 30T 15T 16T 49% /srv/project<br>
/dev/mapper/store-keys 960M 47M 913M 5% /srv/keys<br>
/dev/md123 7.3T 958G 6.3T 13% /srv/scratch<br>
<br>
Pleasingly, there aren't really any giant, serious offenders in that 15T -- usage is distributed fairly well among a large number of projects, with the biggest user being (understandably) Tools.<br>
<br>
So, not actually full. Still, 50% full is full enough to start looking towards future expansion. It's unfortunate that this window is right on the heels of our outage last week, but it needs to happen and I can't think of any reason why it would be better to postpone it.<span class=""><br>

If puppet was written in proper language (C++) we wouldn't need more RAM :P<br>

That is hard to disagree with! Still, virt1000 has been struggling and underpowered for quite a while now, and the 5 minutes that it'll take to drop in more RAM will be /much/ less disruptive than a rewrite of our server admin software :)<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
