Can't install Discourse with only 10 GB disk, run out of space

What exactly does this “world of pain” entail? Is it worth restoring a Discourse backup to an instance running on aufs?

The short version: It will work fine until it suddenly corrupts the file system; and then demons fly out of your nose, circle back behind you and strangulate you. Only one of these is an overstatement

Here are a few memorable quotes from the world of pain:

@sam

We had some very nasty support issues that were incredibly hard to troubleshoot.

@codinghorror

Never, ever use device mapper. That is a one way ticket to corruption town, sooner or later. It is buggy as hell and has been for a year despite Red Hat saying “it works now” over and over.

@codinghorror

I don’t know but you can ask the support customer whose corrupted install on Centos (and thus devicemapper) we just had to recover via a backup…
