Description

For at least a few days now, sometime our maintenance-disconnect-full-disks script puts slaves offline due to /srv partition being full. It is definitely a temporary issue since on investigation I have never seen it full.

An example is https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/maintenance-disconnect-full-disks/63370/ which ran at Apr 13, 2019 2:10:00 PM:

Checking integration-slave-docker-1050...
maintenance-disconnect-full-disks build 63370 (/: 17%)
maintenance-disconnect-full-disks build 63370 (/srv: 100%)
maintenance-disconnect-full-disks build 63370 (/var/lib/docker: 57%)

Which shows up in Grafana (via https://grafana-labs.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/labs-project-board?orgId=1&var-project=integration ):

What I have spotted is the job mwselenium-quibble-docker taking ages to synchronize a cache:

14:01:30 Syncing...
14:01:30 rsync: failed to set times on "/cache/.": Operation not permitted (1)
14:08:38 rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1668) [generator=3.1.2]
14:08:38 
14:08:38 Done

Which must be an insane amount of data, and indeed on integration-castor03:

$ sudo du -m -s /srv/jenkins-workspace/caches/castor-mw-ext-and-skins/master/mwselenium-quibble-docker
8122	/srv/jenkins-workspace/caches/castor-mw-ext-and-skins/master/mwselenium-quibble-docker

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-releng) [2019-04-15T08:51:17Z] <hashar> castor: nuked /srv/jenkins-workspace/caches/castor-mw-ext-and-skins/master/mwselenium-quibble-docker # T220948

the synced cache directory is filled up by Chromium which honors XDG_CACHE_HOME=/cache which have in the Docker container. Eacho .org.chromium.Chromiu.XXXX directory has:

Default/Code Cache	V8 cache
Default/Cache	Web cache / `--disk-cache-dir`

Even if chromedriver does pass --user-data-dir=/tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.XXX the cache directories are generated based on XDG_CACHE_HOME and are thus shared between sessions/saved by castor.

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/user_data_dir.md

On Linux, the user cache dir is derived from the profile dir as follows:

Determine the system config dir. This is ~/.config, unless overridden by $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. (This step ignores $CHROME_CONFIG_HOME.)
Determine the system cache dir. This is ~/.cache, unless overridden by $XDG_CACHE_HOME.
If the system config dir is an ancestor of the profile dir, the user cache dir is the system cache dir plus the relative path from the system config dir to the profile dir.
Otherwise, the user cache dir is the same as the profile dir.

The container has:

XDG_CACHE_HOME=/cache

XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/tmp

Thus:

1 system config dir is /tmp
2 system cache dir is /cache

The profile dir is something like /tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.XXX

From 3. in my previous comment:

If the system config dir (/tmp) is an ancestor of the profile dir (/tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.XXX) => True

then the user cache dir is the system cache dir (/cache) plus the relative path from the system config dir (/tmp) to the profile dir (/tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.XXX). It is thus /cache + .org.chromium.Chromium.XXX.

The workaround is thus to move the system config dir to a subdirectory so that it is not the ancestor of the profile dir. Eg:

XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/tmp/xdg-config-home
