Hi,

The "Creating a new partition" page tells that a partion of about 4GB is
enough for building LFS. It seem that it is no longer true. A jhalfs build
I've done to answer a question from Douglas, run out space during GCC tests on
a 5.8 GB partition. I am not sure exactly what is needed, but at least 6 GB
seem to be needed.
Book version: recent SVN (with GCC 6).

Interesting. In the past, the largest build was glibc and I could do that in, IIRC, something like 2.3G. Right now, my latest build with jhalfs and tools present is 3.1G, but that does not include any transient files and does not include a kernel build.

What I'll do on my next build is to run a script that measures disk usage every few seconds and log the output. I probably need to go ahead and update LFS anyway. There are only 4 packages that need to be update and they are all pretty routine.
