How much space does poky need?

How much space does poky need?

[Adam Saleh]

Hello,

I am making myself a poky-build server, and I remember that when in
use, build system with all downloaded and compiled packages could take
up a quite a lot of space (several gigs). Unfortunately, I don§t
remember how many.
Could you advise me how large partition should I set for the
enviroment? I plan on building mainly qemu-x86 and qemu-arm targets.

Thanks

Adam

The Yocto Quick Start 
(http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/yocto-quick-start/yocto-project-qs.html) 
provides some guidance here. If you were building for just one 
architecture, I suggest allocating at least 100GB for builds.

2 archs, I'd start with 200GB.
