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

Yes, you can try to setup overlay location with job context:
context: lava_test_results_dir: "/tmp/lava-%s"
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?

This is a very tricky problem to tackle. Right now no one is working on it, but if you have time and resources we're happy to review patches.

Hi Milosz,
I change overlay location with this following syntax context: lava_test_results_dir: "/tmp/lava-%s"
But lava search scripts always under / -sh: .: can't open '/lava-183922/environment': No such file or directory
Is it another variable to set ?
Thanks in advance for your answer Florence
