coordination #64746

Updated by okurz almost 3 years ago

## ideas 

 * OSD specific: cron job which checks if df is showing low space available for /results, then call `find … delete videos older than <…>` 
 * DONE: ~~Default to NOVIDEO=1 for all scenarios that set a MAX_JOB_TIME higher than default 2h~~ -> [gh#os-autoinst/openQA#3112](https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/3112) commit ab74357 
 * Have a configurable list of file type/name/pattern with retention period or size quota for each file type/name/pattern 
 * Improve video compression codecs (a 20MB video.ogv can be compressed easily to 14MB video.ogv.xz, that can be improved) 
 * Allow to configure retention period for the video individually #67087 
 * Something better than single fixed, unflexible volumes. E.g. dm-cache, lvmcache, bcache, SUSE enterprise storage. Maybe also splitting stored results in openQA by "recent, active" and "old, archived" and then put both categories in different folders which can be mounted from different storage locations, e.g. fast, expensive for "recent, active" and slow, cheap, big for "old, archived" 
 * try out tuned ext4 for worker pool fs to use a more modern default base fs than ext2 even though internally it's the same new code but we might benefit still, e.g. from faster fs formatting times. #64746#note-2 
 * Setup additional storage server for old assets and results 
     * Use overlayfs to make archived assets/results appear alongside the regular assets/results 
     * Move old assets/results at some point from the regular web UI host to the storage server, e.g. automatically via a Minion job 
         * Mark jobs with archived results as such
