Learned a few things in this process. I appreciate all the help and advice.
1. So we know that at least with Edison, btrfs does not work with bitbake.
2. When I rebuilt the system, this time I put the Linux root directory
on an 80GB SSD. That is where I also have my clone of Linux-Yocto
repository, poky, and download directory , DL_DIR.
3. I have create /build with EXT4 format on a Software RAID 0 (striped)
partition, using 2 separate hard drives, to use as the working
build directory for bitbake. I have a striped swap file on the same
two drives. But with 8GB or RAM, I shouldn't be using that much.
My build times for some of the basic meta-intel BSPs is around 103 minutes.
