Hello,
This should no longer be an issue with the new remote building mechanism
in Cuirass.
Thanks,
Mathieu
[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]
Hello,
in trying out the new bayfront machine, I raised the number of concurrent
build jobs to 10; the number of build accounts is programmatically set to
twice this number.
Looking at the build directories in /tmp, 9 build jobs were started on
February 26 at around 21:50, a 10th one at 22:24.
Later, I have been getting messages such as these:

2018-02-27T18:31:16 batch of builds (partially) failed:all build users are currently in use; consider creating additional users and adding them to the `guixbuild' group (status: 1)
So it looks as if build jobs get stalled, but somehow do not free their
build users.
Hm, the directories in /tmp are created by guixbuilder01 to guixbuilder10.
10 is the default value, but it should have been overwritten.
And in /etc/passwd, I see 20 users. But apparently, they are not used!
