Unusually (?) high space requirement for building 5.8 about linux-tkg HOT 7 CLOSED

After a quick check on 5.8.5 it seemed fine. Could you please retest and see if you can reproduce the issue?

from linux-tkg.

Unfortunately yes. This happens maybe 10 to 15 minutes into the build: https://i.imgur.com/xlVTqCZ.png (followed by the build failing from tmpfs being full)

I can reproduce it with a fresh clone of the repo with no changes to the config. I also tried _noccache="true" and _force_all_threads="false" (with -j6 in makepkg.conf on a six core Ryzen 5) but neither seem to affect it.

I get this too, it seems to be something like 16+- gigs to build in tmpfs and I have 24gb so I remount to 18gb temporarily. Upgrade to 24-32gb is my all rounder recommendation but yes building got a lot heavier overnight and I've seen reports from other frogs to this effect regarding space requirements. 👍

This is true, it happens with 5.9 too I think.

I literally had to change my ~/tmp tmpfs partition where my makepkg builds to 22G. I don't know what's going on, but I noticed it a few weeks ago.

It seems to be expected and universal since 5.8. Marking as upstream.

i had this too, but it seems to be gone now. i didn't have to resize /tmp since a few builds anymore.

I admit I haven't checked, but some RC (I think it might have been 5.10) fixed it at some point. Let's close.
