Set the disk space you need for the pipeline's build volume. Configuring the disk space per pipeline build volume prevents out-of-space scenarios that lead to failed builds. The disk space set for the pipeline is inherited by all the builds run for the pipeline.

To speed up builds and improve performance, Codefresh caches different types of data during pipeline execution for reuse across builds. Image-caching is one example of cached data, where Codefresh pulls the required images during the first build and caches it for reuse in future builds. For more info, see[Pipeline caching]({{site.baseurl}}docs/configure-ci-cd-pipeline/pipeline-caching).

Because a portion of the disk space is already utilized by cache, a build can run out of disk space and fail with the 'no space left on device' error.

Codefresh calculates the available range according tothe disk size, and automatically sets the disk space for the build volume to 70% ofthetotal disk space. You can either retain thedefault allocation or change as needed.

To prevents out-of-space scenarios that lead tofailed builds, you can set theminimumdisk spaceyou needfor thepipeline'sbuild volume. Definingtheminimum disk space ensures that Codefresh makes thedisk space available at the start of the specific build, without cached data.

The disk space set for the pipeline is inherited by all the builds run for the pipeline.

You can also configure the disk space for a[specific trigger]({{site.baseurl}}/docs/configure-ci-cd-pipeline/triggers/git-triggers/#set-minimum-disk-space-for-build-volume-by-trigger) used by the pipeline or for a specific run, and override what's set for the pipeline.

1. Select the pipeline for which to set the disk space.

1. Select**Settings**, and then**Runtime**.

1. Enable**Set minimum required disk space** and either retain the default displayed or change as needed.
