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.

What?  No swap?  ;)

I am not sure exactly what is needed, but at least 6 GB
seem to be needed.
Book version: recent SVN (with GCC 6).

I ran a jhalfs build and while I did that a loop measuring the disk usage every five seconds. The high water mark was in the gcc tests at 5314 MB. I also had a 5205 MB reading during glibc.

Final space was 2503 MB (without kernel), of that, 342 MB is in sources and 1.2 GB in tools so the net LFS install is about 1 GB (870 MB stripped).


I'll adjust Chapter 2 to reflect the new data.
