   Note that the reporter was asking for a build to fail before starting if there is 100GB available in the local cache but the build will cost 110GB.
   
   Currently BuildStream will simply *do it's best* and has no concept or method to predict how much disk space an element will cost in advance of building it, and I don't expect that to reasonably change.
   
   I'll mark this as WONTFIX and we can revisit in some hypothetical future when users have the ability to annotate elements with resource requirement annotations, or some approach which could plausibly address this.
