My favorite configuration for gitian building is Linux Mint 19.1 (based on Ubuntu 18.04) with LXC 3.0.3.

Faced disk space issues. This gitian-builder patch works well:

Tested ACK (well, I tested wih 12240 so this size should certainly be enough)

Edit: Eh, why didn't you open this PR on the gitian repository, there's nothing we can do with this here

Eh? make-base-vm doesn't work with bionic at all though...

I cannot reproduce the issue reliably. Is it ok to increase LXC disk just for safety?
