Mika Karjalainen added a comment - 2016-10-21 08:40 - edited Suspect this changed with branch-api-plugin update to version 1.11. I see we have workspaces stored to the ${Workspace Root Directory} in September but now all workspaces are created to ${JENKINS_HOME}/workspace.

Alex Hunt added a comment - 2016-11-22 15:58 I can confirm that this issue is very much still in affect on Jenkins 2.33 with branch-api plugin 1.11.1.

The Jenkins home is on NFS passed in via a docker volume, and this causes very slow checkouts and timeouts for some repositories. Not being able to change the workspace root directory is a huge blocker for us, as it is the difference between a repo timing out after 10 minutes (Jenkins being totally unusable), and a repo checking out in just a few seconds.
