Hi Philippe Mazet,
Please find my comments inline.
Questions:
- Does Linaro's docker-compose solution modify postgres restore mechanism
in any way?
[Koti] --> I am not sure about this.
- How do you handle backup/restore at linaro?
[Koti] ----> still are you facing the backup/restore issue after
following the below documentation?
1. https://docs.lavasoftware.org/lava/admin-backups.html
2. http://postgresguide.com/utilities/backup-restore.html
Regards,
Koti

Hello lava users,
I have to deal with a board with a very limited storage size. Overall capacity is 64 MB, with about 30 MB remaining.
This is a clear limitation for Lava usage. Hence my questions:
* Is there a possibility to configure Lava tests installation on an external storage, such as an USB drive?
* In Lava recent versions, is it possible to optimize the overlay tests structure?
* Today, assuming that tests are stored in a git repo, for each test the complete repo is copied in each overlay
* A balance has to be made between one git containing all the tests and one git per test (extreme configurations)
* Is there a better way to manage this? In a ideal world, that would mean copy only what is needed and not more
Thanks, have a nice day
