We are running close to capacity on /var/lib/archiva on archiva1002 and the trend is still for the data size to increase.
We are planning to deprecate the Archiva service, but until then we need to find a way to support the current data sizes.
Restarting the archiva service removes some files that are in use, but these are re-created soon afterwards, as the graph shows.
It is a virtual server, but it does not currently use LVM. The current partition scheme has /var/lib/archiva on /dev/vdb1.
