Snowflake storage quota exceeded, but no documentation on what that means #1980

Comment

We're using Codeberg to host a game project with almost all binary files listed in LFS instead of the main repo. The total size of my local folder is 1.3GB.

When I go to our organisation's storage quota page, it says that "snowflake" storage is exceeded at 1.5GB/750MB. I cannot find any information on what "snowflake" means in this context.

So I'm confused, does this mean I can't store this amount of binary files on Codeberg after all, even though LFS is supported?

Hello,

I also have exceeded my snowflake quota (2.8GB/750MB). It seems that the root cause is this repository that displays a 2.8GB use of LFS.

But I am not using Git LFS for my repository (check my workflow here) and I am force-pushing every time so that the output repository always has 1 commit.

Could someone help me?

You can see the meaning of the different storage names in the latest blog post here: https://blog.codeberg.org/letter-from-codeberg-we-love-our-new-infrastructure.html

It seems the plan is to make these distinctions clearer going forward :)

@lfavole the display of the storage use depends on git's garbage collect having run. Iirc Codeberg runs it around once a day, so the larger total might be a result of that. If it talks about the snowflake quota it should also not be the LFS :)

@gedankenstuecke thanks! I guess I need to contact Codeberg directly to get a higher quota
