When I emerge sync.
I got

mkdir "/usr/portage/rsync://rsync.gentoo.org.tw/gentoo-portage/metadata/timestamp.chk" failed: No such file or directory
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(327)

!!! Rsync has reported that there is a File IO error. Normally
!!! this means your disk is full, but can be caused by corruption
!!! on the filesystem that contains PORTDIR. Please investigate
!!! and try again after the problem has been fixed.
!!! PORTDIR=/usr/portage

But my disk is not full.
I even delete all file in /usr/portage but in vain.

any idea?

What's the output from
# emerge info
?

Is it possible that your filesystem is corrupt?

Are you using reiser4?

Sorry, how can I know the version of reiserfs ?

thank you...

there is a message I get from /var/log/message

is this one ?

If you don't know the version of Reiserfs that you're using, then you're most probably not using Reiser4, unless you had a friend install your system without telling you.

you could try downloading a portage snapshot and untarring it as if you're doing an install

Wow, it's work.
I download the portage snapshot from website. and untar it as my /usr/portage.
Now, I can emerge sync currently.

But, I have some curious about this:
I've tried remove all the file in /usr/portage and emerge sync.
what's the different from "removing /usr/portage and emerge sync" and "download a snapshot" ?

thank you very much .

you deleted the entire /usr/portage-directory-subtree? then "emerge sync" cannot work, you have to do an

Code: Select all

emerge-webrsync

and an "emerge sync" afterwards.

"emerge sync" synchronizes your /usr/portage with the current one. for doing that you need an own /usr/portage.
downloading a snapshot (that's what "emerge-webrsync" does) doesn't need a valid /usr/portage.

It's seem equal way between "download snapshot as /usr/portage" and "rm /usr/portage/* and emerge sync" ?

But I've tried these two way to fix my portage.

only "download snapshot as /usr/portage" works.
"rm /usr/portage/* and emerge sync" can not solve my problem.

It's let me so confused.

thank you very much

plasmagunman · Post by **plasmagunman** » Sat Jan 07, 2006 5:43 pm

okay, two ways:

Code: Select all

rm -r /usr/portage
emerge-webrsync

or

Code: Select all

emerge sync

emerge sync needs a populated /usr/portage. it compares the files you have with the files on the server and downloads only the ones you're missing. if you delete /usr/portage this comparison cannot work. on the other hand downloading a snapshot doesn't compare anything, so it doesn't matter if you have a /usr/portage or not.

btw, normally you should only do "emerge sync", don't delete anything in /usr/ by hand. emerge sync is wmuch faster than downloading a whole snapshot.

Also, can you post the output of: "df -h"? Just to be safe.

Genone · Post by **Genone** » Sat Jan 07, 2006 8:12 pm

You can only have one entry in the SYNC variable.

chy168 · Post by **chy168** » Sun Jan 08, 2006 12:59 am

thanks you all, I'm clearly about that now.
But I still have some problem.

Because I have tried these two ways:
1.

Code: Select all

rm -r /usr/portage/
emerge-webrsync

and
2.

Code: Select all

rm -r /usr/portage/*  (leave portage dir empty)
emerge sync

in "way 2".
Because I deleted all the file in portage dir.
From plasmagunman said "if you delete /usr/portage this comparison cannot work."

Did emerge won't download all the portage tree because I delete it (I lose all the files) ?

I've tried deleted all the files in /usr/portage before.
and run

Code: Select all

emerge sync

it's seem emerge will download(rebuild) the portage tree to /usr/portage?

thank you very very much.

Ok, I have only one entry in the SYNC variable now.

But, why did I just have only one ?

Do you mean why you can only have one or why did you have two?
For the first, what should two entries accomplish?
The second you'll have to answer yourself.

I think my question is the first one.

Because I consider you have another meaning about "have only one SYNC" before.

I think I know what's your meaning.

Thank you for the answer.
