Currently this VM is 150GB. According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428617#c4, this VM no longer needs to be so large. mrz thinks this VM could be made smaller, and still run just the remaining build-graph processes. Splitting out this project from bug#428617, which should track other build-machine cleanup work related to mothballing build-graphs.m.o.
This will need a downtime notice and a tree closure, since it takes a long time to copy 10 GB of data between two machines (especially since they're large DB files that get touched every time a tinderbox submits results), so it'll be nearly impossible to copy them all over and switch DNS between two tinderboxes reporting in. I also vaguely recall it needing some Perl module that you couldn't get anymore, which we'll need to make sure we get copied over from the old machine by hand (or did it get rewritten to not need it? I forget).

I forget). You're thinking of the pageload server, not build-graphs. Two different things entirely.

This was completed earlier tonight. I completed removed the old 160GB HD, but I did keep a 25GB copy of the data from the old VM, as I replaced it with a brand new RHEL5 VM. If everything checks out for a week or so, I'll remove the backup.

I think you can remove that copy?
