Just after I gave up and sent the mail, I found the point: we have three daily and three weekly backup snapshots taken of the jenkins jail, which *shares* disk quota with the actively used file system. Removing files doesn't remove them from the snapshots, so the only way short of discarding snapshots (?) is to increase the overall quota. I set it from 40G up to 60G, and sure enough jenkins runs again.
We should probably set a refquota so that the live file system's quota is somewhat independent from the quota used for snapshots. I'll not do this before consulting with the experts though.
good analysis. Not using refquota is a historic mistake. I have changed that for the jenkins.osmocom.org jail.
