Not sure I understand that: swap is for memory space, not disk sapce, isn't
it? Actually, I have a small swap area (4GB), while memory on this VM is 14GB
(and total memory on the computer is 16GB).

It does not really explain why it failed for me on a 5.8 GB partition, but
maybe you do not count the jhalfs directory itself. BTW, I just found that
/tools/libexec is about 880 MB and is not stripped at the end of chapter 5.
Stripping allows to remove 300 MB:
---
find /tools/libexec -type f -exec strip --strip-unneeded {} \;
