We are currently hitting an issue where some of our builds just vanish some time after they were successfully completed. Only 4 out of 11 jobs are affected by this bug but I couldn't figure out what is special about them. LogRotate is enabled but also fails to clean up excess builds for these projects. From a file system perspective this looks like:
root@build:/srv/jenkins/jobs/Apache HTTPClient SPNEGO Support/builds# ls -la

If the symlink is manually corrected, it will be reset to the wrong location on next access (e.g. reloading the dashboard).
Even on finest loglevel there do not seem to be any relevant log entries.
What information is required to investigate this further?
