Details of the respective specifications and information are provided below.
Disk space depends on the of your choice.
There are four strategies for pruning state. These strategies apply only to state and do not apply to block storage. To set pruning, adjust the pruning parameter in the ~/.firmachain/config/app.toml file. The following pruning state settings are available:
everything: Prune all saved states other than the current state.
nothing: Save all states and delete nothing.
default: Save the last 100 states and the state of every 10,000th block.
custom: Specify pruning settings with the pruning-keep-recent, pruning-keep-every, and pruning-interval parameters.

(The document was written based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and the default value of this OS is 1024.)
However, if you open /etc/security/limits.conf and modify the value as can be seen in the code below, you can raise the limit of the nofile feature
