I use allways 12GB disk space for partitions to build LFS in - so
nearly all available disks nowadays should be fine. A 32GB mSATA is a
bit small, but every size above should be fine also. But that depends
on what else you want to have on disk beside LFS.
To quote Marvin: It amazes me how you manage to live in anything that
small.
For a server, yeah, fine. But for a desktop, particularly if trying
extra or alternative packages, it's a bit small. My most recent
normal desktop took 9.49GB, but then I installed texlive (source,
without asymptote, biber, xindy) and got to 15.1GB.
And I've got over 11GB of tarballs and zip files in /sources
(ignoring fonts).
And anyone using LFS long-term really needs at least two systems
(current and next), plus (of course) /home, space for sources, and
somewhere to build.
I'm currently doing a scripted install of the new Qt5 after manually
building it to check the details - the build (without WebEngine) took
12GB. For small packages, building in /tmp (half of available RAM)
might be ok - but don't try that on Qt, rustc, webkitgtk, firefox,
seamonkey, or libreoffice.
I usually use 10G for LFS, but then there's this mount thingy...
