ok, so my /usr is up past 4 GB. That's not cool. I don't have *that* much installed on my system. What can I do to free up some space??

Hi,
maybe /usr/portage/distfiles ?
or you can check your /usr with cd /usr; du -sh *

hmm... some insight, the larger ones are:
/usr/bin: 216 M (that seems about right to me)
/usr/lib: 648 M
/usr/portage: 1.4G (that seems way too big)
/usr/share: 721M (a little large)
so, what can I do about these sizes?? what can stay/go?

These files can all be deleted if you want to save space. However if you need to rebuild them in the future. It will take longer because you will have to download them again. Or you can be selective and go through and just delete the older versions of the software. If you look through the directory you will probably find multiple instances of the same program, but different versions. |
