Larger ephemeral disk size for machines

Is there any way to allocate more ephemeral storage to a machine, right now I only see 8GB mounted on /
image
The other way would be to allocate and destroy persistent volumes but that seems like a worse idea

On another note, is it possible to make / persistent?

There’s no way to allocate more ephemeral storage currently. What’s the issue you’re having? Initially, I don’t see a problem allocating and discarding persistent volumes if you need the space.

I am interested on more ephemeral space too, my use case is downloading videos and processing them with ffmpeg on a machine.

With allocation and discarding volumes do you mean using the same volume deleting previous files or running the commands flyctl volumes create and destroy? How much time do these commands take on average?
