Thanks for checking.

BTW its disk is full.

FWIW I run RPi4 build bots on higher end USB3.x sticks (SanDisk
Extreme Pro, I'm sure there are others), and the performance is orders
of magnitude higher and more consistent than the micro SD and
cheap/random USB sticks I tried.  Admittedly they cost more than the
RPi4 board themselves (back when you could get them).

I noticed another (presumed) Raspberry Pi apparently behaving
strangely at the storage level (guessing it's a Pi by the armv7l
architecture): dangomushi appears to get files mixed up.  Here it is
trying to compile a log file last week:

And the week before it tried to compile some Perl:
