Ths is my third attempt to create a LFS, finally heeding the sage advice to put it all into repeatable scripts (thank goodness for that!).
Just a little incident report: I included a "make check" everywhere even in chapter 5, just to be on the safe side. Started the scripts and went for a few beers. * After coming back, I found lots of "No space left on device" warnings in the logs. * It would seem that the testsuite for tar (Chapter 5.31: Tar-1.30) created one gigantic file, aptly named BIGFILE, that ate up my whole lfs partition (all of 5.3GB that were left at that point). I will investigate the issue later this week and keep you posted, for now I just disabled the testsuite, since it's marked optional in the book and it's only the temp system.
