Dear maintainer(s),

Since a couple of days, our workers on s390x are dying because some test
is filling up all disk space. It *appears* that fenics-dolfinx is always
involved, so I suspect it doing something inappropriate. Basically every
spike above 40% in the graph [1] is a moment that we see issues like:

Feb 28 05:38:18 ci-worker-s390x-01 debci[1738391]: gzip:
/tmp/debci-worker-43383540-cNnbLE372K/autopkgtest-incoming/testing/s390x/f/fenics-dolfinx/43383540/log.gz:
No space left on device
Feb 28 05:38:18 ci-worker-s390x-01 debci[1424101]: E: Test for package
fenics-dolfinx produced no exit code, aborting

fenics-dolfinx migrated last night, the amount of failures intensived
last night.

I know, it's not proof, but do you have any idea what could be going on
and how to prevent it? For now I put fenics-dolfinx on the rejectlist
for s390x. I'd love to remove it again.

Hi,

Yesterday we were in the same (or very similar) situation again despite
fenics-dolfinx being on the reject_list for s390x. So, most likely it
was not its fault.

Hi,

Just now I was able to run the test suite manually while tracking disk
usage. I'm not seeing anything suspicious, so I'm closing this bug and
will lift the block.
