which size to compile linux kernel

  • 772

I am compiling linux kernel on an Ubuntu machine in a VM, my host being OSX. I began with a 8Go VM, then 15 Go, and now 21 Go, and I am still running out of space errors. What correct size should I forecast ? is there a way to control it with some options when running the compilation

14.04

  1. I used around 29GB for a recent Ubuntu 4.8 Yakkety kernel build for x86-64, so I'd recommend at least 35GB for source, generated objects and deb packages.
