   The machine has about a 24G disk and the biggest users of space are as follows:

   • 15GB in /home/iojs of which nearly 8G is the iojs jenkins workspace and just over 5G is ccache
   • over 2G in /var/log/journal. I've pruned that with journalctl --vacuum-size=100M but my expectation is that it will probably fill up again fairly quickly

   We should look at the amount of workspace space and see if we need to do anything to increase the capacity on this machine given that the node codebase is only ever increasing. This is the current size of the contents of the workspace directory for each job:

   root@test-ibm-ubuntu2404-x64-1:/home/iojs/build/workspace# du -sh *
   1.9G	citgm-smoker
   369M	citgm-smoker-nobuild
   4.8G	node
   587M	node-test-node-addon-api-new
   

   The figures for some of these may not be representative and lower than normal if they've hit a space limit while executing.

   I'm of the opinion that 25G disks (the older IBM Cloud machines) are now insufficient.
