Hello Everyone,
I was following this Link to build a reference image.
I followed the process

bitbake -k tdx-reference-multimedia-image

but at the end i’m getting this error.

So before building i had 48GB of free space left. My question is how much storage space do i need to build a reference image (sdk).
Should i need more disk space to build it or is there any way i can reduce the usage of disk space while building the image.

When creating a VM to do builds in under Ubuntu, I set the storage to a minimum of 250GB, sometimes 450GB. In a VM it is not as bad because the space only gets consumed from the actual disk when needed. If 250GB is too small, I can dig through my doc to see, that is the number I remember though. I also remember setting one to 450GB, but I had quite a bit of audio stuff in there as well.
