Hello,
I have a workflow in which I am downloading a large volume of files from a CVMFS repository using the cvmfs_shrinkwrap utility, then storing those files in a squashfs image.
On my machine with limited disk space, I find I am running out of space on the device although I should have plenty of space to support the files that I intend to download. It appears that all of the files are being duplicated in various caches that I don’t believe I need.
I tried to set the cache quota limit with CVMFS_QUOTA_LIMIT, but I get the following error:
LibCvmfs version 2.8, revision 30
Initialization failed: Failure: libcvmfs supports only unmanaged exclusive cache or alien cache. (2)
Is there no way to use the quota limit with cvmfs_shrinkwrap?
If I don’t need a proper cache, how would you recommend I handle this situation to keep disk space utilization to a minimum?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here are more details of my configuration.
