It will balloon out of control—I have seen the bases folder as large as 500 GB before. I have also had the agents completely fill a 1 TB drive with temp files and fill another 1 TB drive with pagefile in a matter of minutes. If you don't have that kind of storage, jobs of that sort will fail and you won't get paid for them. Disk usage in this application is capped by running out. Most of the time, it deletes all temp files at the completion of the job. It also occasionally removes files from its bases cache folder, but I have not found a rhyme or reason for its choices here.

I've only been running my nodes for a few days and I'm looking at 30+gigs (12 nodes). I know this will fluctuate but is there any info how long this stays on my system or if there is a way to cap disk usage? Just concerned this is going to balloon out of control.
I'm sure it won't but just curious how others systems look over longer lenghts of time. Or if I need to go out and get more storage...
