On multiple occasions, I've kicked off BitBake to run overnight. I come in to find it failing from running out of disk space. And I'm usually perplexed - does this really need over 200 GB of space!?!
I once slept in a lab in order to monitor a BitBake project for a few weeks. I would wake up, check BB's progress, tweak it and start it going again, walk across the street and get a snack, then come back to the lab and go back to sleep.
