      = Workspaces with JetBrains CLion or Rider fail to start with default per-workspace PVC size

      When you create a workspace that uses the JetBrains CLion or JetBrains Rider IDE with the `per-workspace` storage strategy, the workspace can fail to start. The `editor-injector` `init container` enters a `CrashLoopBackOff` state due to a "No space left on device" error.

      This issue occurs because the default persistent volume claim (PVC) size of `5Gi` is insufficient. The CLion IDE requires approximately 8.5 GB of disk space.

      *Workaround*

      To resolve this issue, configure a `PVC` size of at least 8.5 GB for the workspace.

      Definition of Done:

      Build Details:

      Additional info (Such as Logs, Screenshots, etc):

      There was default PVC storage size 5Gi, and per-workspace PVC strategy.

      Configuration of Lombok Sample pod: pod-workspacede7748c958564e27-69495d8779-ht4ts.yaml

      The error reproduced on different OCP 4.18 cluster with default PVC storage size 5Gi.

      Workspace started successfully using JetBrains CLion and Rider IDEs in Dev Spaces 3.23.0-RC.26.08 deployed to DevSandbox stage with increased PVC storage size.

      Error hasn't been reproduced with the different JetBrains Ultimate, JetBrains PhpStorm Editors on the same cluster with default PVC storage size 5Gi.
