TFS Local Workspaces error -TF400030: The local data store is currently in use by another operation.

On a large Visual Studio project I started getting the following error message:

TF400030: The local data store is currently in use by another operation.

This project is using the local workspace feature of TFS, which has a lot of advantages, but has it own set of problems when your solution gets quite large(think 50.000 items or more).

I tried multiple solutions to solve the issue:

  • One possible solution is to delete the local workspace and recreate it again. This will clear the local version table, and allows you to start over with a clean slate. We noticed a small performance improvement after doing this.
  • An alternative could be to evaluate your current workspace and see if some server side folders should not be mapped. This can help decrease the size of your workspace.
  • Another option you have is to change back from a local workspace to a server workspace. As mentioned before, this option is useful only when your workspace contains a lot of items. In that case switching to a server workspace can help as they are proven to scale to up to 10,000,000 items in a single workspace.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
