Sometimes /mnt (/dev/sdb1) is 100% full when the build job starts

[lhotari]

Describe the bug

In very rare cases, the /mnt disk (/dev/sdb1) is 100% full.
This happens very rarely. Example of such case:
https://github.com/apache/pulsar/actions/runs/16641732202/job/47093641342?pr=24593#step:3:118

  Filesystem     1M-blocks   Used Available Use% Mounted on

  tmpfs                 5M     0M        5M   0% /run/lock
  /dev/sda15          105M     7M       99M   6% /boot/efi
  /dev/sdb1         75029M 73225M        0M 100% /mnt
  tmpfs              1600M     1M     1600M   1% /run/user/1001

To Reproduce

There isn't a way to reproduce this. It happens rarely. In apache/pulsar actions, I've seen this a few times in the last couple of months.

Expected behavior

/mnt disk should have plenty of available disk space
