CF >203 compilation broken on default vSphere manifest

[Scott Taggart]

Hi folks,

More of an FYI for people searching...

Compiling cf-205 on vSphere (vCloud really) fails on a few of the buildpacks for vSphere/vCloud:

   Failed compiling packages > buildpack_php/60fb983e430ab8de7fb647cba59954f8d0c4b9c9: Action Failed get_task: Task 47c66ba0-89a1-4e9a-5431-f01cfedc8dcf result: Compiling package buildpack_php: Compressing compiled package: Shelling out to tar: Running command: 'tar czf /var/vcap/data/tmp/bosh-platform-disk-TarballCompressor-CompressFilesInDir418381800 -C /var/vcap/data/packages/buildpack_php/60fb983e430ab8de7fb647cba59954f8d0c4b9c9.1- .', stdout: '', stderr: '

Looks like the default ~6GB disk (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-release/blob/master/templates/cf-infrastructure-vsphere.yml#L10) isn't big enough any more, increasing this to 8GB fixes the issue. I've raised an issue in the repo for this (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-release/issues/648), I would do a pull request but haven't signed the CLA.

Although this combined with the 5GB BOSH director limit (which I hit too in this release) does beg the question - why are the buildpacks ballooning so rapidly in size all of a sudden?

Cheers,

Scott

They've grown in size to support the new stack.

Ah-ha... thanks Dieu, serves me right for skim reading the key bits of the release notes, I just saw cflinuxfs2 support and was happy with the news and set straight to it... obviously missed the size parts in the process :-)

Certainly makes sense, although hoping we can slim down soon, releases sure are monsters these days
