deployment-mediawiki02 labs instance only has 2GB of disk. The hhvm upstart process emits log to /var/log/upstart/hhvm.log which contains a bunch of php notices. That is also send to syslog ( /var/log/syslog/ ) creating a snowball effect that completely fill up /var/. The hhvm upstart job should probably discard anything that is below the 'error' level and the notices be sent to a central syslog.
changed importance to "major", this makes beta hard to use for real people and causes a lot of false test failures.
Bryan told me the log issue is apparently fixed in production. Since mediawiki02 does not run puppet, it is not taking in account the recent changes made in operations/puppet.git :-(
I think puppet is now passing on the hhvm instances. I am not sure where the log are written to though.
