With a compile that takes as long as LOo does, I'd want the dev to be on
the side of caution rather than underestimating it. If the max is 9Gbs,
then that is what they should check for. I would much rather the dev do
that than for me to get to about 90% of the compile done then get the
little message that it is out of space. I wouldn't be "hal" mad but it
would sort of tick me off a bit. ;-) Maybe not as bad as /usr on init
or using a init thingy either. Still a bit upset tho.
