Issue DURACLOUD-803: DuraCloud instance hitting 100% disk utilization
Initial issue: - After running synctool on a set of 200,000 files, the sync rate slowed from about 3,000 files transferred per 10 minutes to about 300 or less per 10 minutes. Reason for the slow down: - The reason the rate dropped, was because the instance storage space had become 100% consumed. The major culprit was the catalina.out and catalina.out.1 files in /mnt/log/tomcat6 Reason there isn't much space available: - As it turns out, this EBS instance, as well as all other EBS instances, no longer include ephemeral storage space by default. It was expected that /mnt was mounted to a large ephemeral storage drive, but that is not the case. - Further info: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/InstanceStorage.html#using-instance-storage
