Try using a separate partition that is not raid for the root partition. It's

very straight forward if it fails.
Size depends on what goes in separate partitions, and what you
build. With /boot, /home, /sources (but not /opt) on separate
filesystems I find 5 GB would have been enough for my server. But
my desktops have mostly had the root partition increased to 25 GB
because 20GB was becoming too restrictive.
Putting /opt and /var on a separate partition should reduce things
greatly. And, of course, LFS still supports a separate /usr.
[ / ]$ sudo du -sh bin etc lib lib64 root sbin
23M bin
22M etc
65M lib
4.0K lib64
39M root
32M sbin
It would be an interesting experiment, but it looks like I could get by
with a root partition of less than 200 Mb.
