The “No space left on device” resp. “Disk quota exceeded” affects all the non-intel platforms (arm64, s390x, ppc64le), presumably because they share some common infrastructure code and hence also the bugs in that. Unfortunately, Travis CI staff has failed to respond to this or even just acknowledge this or a multitude of other problems on these three platforms. ☹

yes, seen and hit those too. Saw, probably one of those, that arm64 got an increase. This is slightly odder as its the /tmp that’s full from the start rather than the main build space. Maybe its just the first thing that’s hit.

Ruby project is observing the following error on s390x job too.  
Do you think it comes from the same reason with others?

I think it is likely that this is the same issue, yes. They seem to have fixed (or at least improved) the issue for Arm64, but apparently the same fix was not applied to s390x.

Likewise, the bug where some Python directories were owned in root apparently was fixed for Arm64, but not for s390x.
