ci(e2e): keep every e2e leg inside the runner's disk - #300
ubuntu-latest hands out two runner sizes: 72 GB of disk (48 GB free after the clean-up step) and 145 GB (120 GB free). The legs that failed were on 72 GB runners. No runner had a second disk: /mnt was on the root device every time.
On ubuntu-26.04, Docker 29 keeps images in containerd's store, which holds every layer twice, once as the compressed blob and once unpacked. A probe on the fork (https://github.com/geiresx/OwnGenome/actions/runs/41957796291) pulled DeepVariant's, GATK's and VNtyper's images. They took 24.8 GB of disk there. After this PR's store switch they took 17.6 GB, the same as on ubuntu-24.04's overlay2.
In that store docker image inspect .Size gives the compressed size: 7.2 GB for the same three images. The 33 GB the old image table showed for all 56 images understated what the disk held.
Every leg pre-pulled all 56 images, whatever its cases run. That included the five largest (DeepVariant, PharmCAT, GATK, MEGAnE, VNtyper), which no cache entry holds. In the base leg, DeepVariant's and PharmCAT's images alone took 15 GB.
Archives saved from containerd's store don't all load into overlay2: 7 of 46 failed (run 41960912641).
Fix
Docker image store: a new step in each leg, before any image is restored. If Docker uses the containerd snapshotter, the step prunes its images, sets features.containerd-snapshotter: false in /etc/docker/daemon.json and restarts Docker. It then fails unless the driver is overlay2. On 24.04 it changes nothing.
Lazy images: the five largest are left out of the pre-pull. The docker shim tests/e2e/bin/docker pulls one, with the same registry-5xx retry (e2e-run.sh --pull-image), at the first docker run/docker create that names it. e2e-run.sh removes it when that case ends, so a leg holds at most one at a time.
New image cache keys (e2e-images-ovl-g*), so main re-saves the groups from overlay2. Each archive is deleted as soon as it loads.
A free-disk gate: before the first case, a leg with less than E2E_MIN_FREE_GB (10) free under the work area fails with one clear error. After the cases it prints the lowest free space it saw while they ran, and docker system df.
The PR stays out of the data-cache functions (#287) and the free-disk step (#287 moves that step into an action).
At merge: delete the old image cache entries
The old entries are no longer read. They take 8.2 GB of the repository's 10 GB, and leaving them would push the e2e data caches out:
e2e-images-g0-f335c74fae702dd0, e2e-images-g0-29293374a6a02ddd, e2e-images-g0-5e1a10a0c8e65100, e2e-images-g1-c46c836ca5db2da9, e2e-images-g2-c44ac4e299e5313c, e2e-images-g3-8c551b36f994c7ae, e2e-images-g3-b5c72da088aca747.
Until main's first run after the merge saves the new entries, PR legs pull those images.
Evidence
Free disk per leg: before the first case / lowest during the cases.
Shard 2 landed on a 72 GB runner, the size that failed on main, and passed every case. It still held two lazy images at the end, which is why the lazy images are now removed after their case. Shard 5 failed one case, prs-scores-and-run-options-1-strand-sex: the PGS Catalog's md5 list gave no md5 for PGS000064. That is the third-party list, not disk, and the same case passed on the fork run below.
Red control: scripts/ci/e2e-run.sh --self-test-pull (run by e2e-plan) checks that the gate fails 10 GB free against a need of 11 GB and passes it against 10 (fake df). It also checks that the shim pulls a missing lazy image once, before its run. With the shim's lazy block switched off, that check fails.
E2E runs now check available disk space before testing and report the lowest space observed. Runs stop early if space is below the configured minimum.
Large container images are pulled only when needed and removed after their cases, reducing disk use. E2E runs also use a consistent Docker storage driver and updated image caching.
Documentation
Updated testing guidance with details on image handling, disk-space checks, and troubleshooting disk exhaustion.
Docker's containerd store on ubuntu-26.04 keeps each layer twice, and every
leg pre-pulled all 56 images; legs on 72 GB runners ran out of disk in the
pull. Legs now switch Docker to overlay2 first, the five largest images are
pulled at their first use, and a leg with too little free disk fails before
its first case.
The E2E workflow switches Docker to overlay2, defers pulls for five large images until first use, and removes those images after each case. The runner checks available disk space before and during runs, and reports its measurements.

Summary
Docker storage and image cache .github/workflows/e2e.yml
When Docker uses the containerd snapshotter, the workflow switches to overlay2 and verifies the driver. It uses an overlay2-specific cache namespace and removes each archive after attempting to load it.
The runner excludes five images from pre-pulling. The Docker shim pulls a listed image on first use when it is missing. The runner removes deferred images after each case. The self-test and documentation cover this behavior.
Disk-space checks and reporting scripts/ci/e2e-run.sh, .github/workflows/e2e.yml
The runner checks free space before cases, samples it during the run, and reports the lowest and final readings. The workflow sets the minimum to 10 GB.
GeiserX/OwnGenome#260: Changes E2E image-cache budgets and adds data caches to manage runner storage.
GeiserX/OwnGenome#251: Adds parallel E2E legs and the image pre-pull path that this PR modifies.
GeiserX/OwnGenome#287: Changes E2E workflow and cache preparation to address full CI runners.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to ce02b
The disk check can pass without verifying space available for Docker images. Check Docker's filesystem before merging and correct the documented one-image limit. Actual disk exhaustion from images coexisting within a case has not been established.

The 33 GB of the image table was containerd's compressed size; a probe run
measured the same three images at 24.8 GB on containerd and 17.6 GB on
overlay2.
…e at a time
7 of the 46 archives saved from containerd's store did not load into
overlay2, and an exact key hit never saves again: new keys. A 72 GB runner
reached 7 GB free with two lazy images left on it (run 41960912641,
shard 2): each now goes when its case ends.
The self-test checks the pull count, the pull -q lazytwo line, and the run count. It does not check order. The success message says the pull happens "before its run", but the assertion does not verify that. A shim that runs the image first and pulls afterward would still pass.
The calls file records calls in sequence. Compare the first pull line number with the first run line number.

Correct the "one lazy image at a time" statement in the cleanup comment.
The cleanup loop runs only when a case ends. One case can hold several lazy images until then. nextflow-from-fastq-2-nextflow runs DeepVariant and PharmCAT in one Nextflow invocation. Both images are pulled during that case and remain until it ends. The comment says a leg holds one lazy image at a time, which is incorrect for this case.

The same "at most one of them at a time" statement appears in docs/testing.md at about lines 92-100. Revise that sentence to state that images are removed when their case ends and that one case can hold several.
