Hitting a roadblock at the installation https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Base stage where
Code:
emerge-webrsync
is to be excuted

Code:
!!! Section 'gentoo' in repos.conf has location attribute set to nonexistent directory: '/var/db/repos/gentoo'
!!! SYNC setting found in make.conf.
    This setting is Deprecated and no longer used.  Please ensure your 'sync-type' and 'sync-uri' are set correctly in /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf
!!! Invalid Repository Location (not a dir): '/var/db/repos/gentoo'

tar: portage/sci-visualization/pythonprop/Manifest: Cannot open: No space left on device


Suppose the warnings about Invalid Repository Location and SYNC settings are negligible but being stymied by the no space left issue. Looked up online about potential culprits but nothing pointed out remedies the matter

Code:
/dev/mapper/vg_main-lv_os on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)

Tried
Code:

but that did not remedy the matter.

It would seems inexplicable thus that
Code:
tar
stakes the claim about
Code:
No space left on device

Is there space left on the device? Otherwise this is probably the problem. You can check this using

Code:
df -h

Okay, sry, I did not read it carefully. Then this may be the problem:

Code:
!!! Section 'gentoo' in repos.conf has location attribute set to nonexistent directory: '/var/db/repos/gentoo'


I do not have this dir too. You may either create it or even better change the repos.conf the way, that it uses another dir. Even the "tar-error" may make sens, if it tries to write to nonexisting dir, but I do not know, if this is the case. What does your repos.conf look like?

That is not the issue since the warning is only printed on the first run and the directory then being created on the fly. On the second run the warning is absent since the directory is in residence by then.

I am wondering which path tar is trying to expand the compressed files to.

Maybe it is

Code:
/usr/portage/sci-visualization/pythonprop/



Or maybe just

Code:
portage/sci-visualization/pythonprop/Manifest


Then this is the problem, but I do not know how to fix it.

Hmm, still I have no good idea. But maybe emerge-webrsync is not executed by root and can therefore not write do the dir. And what does your repos.conf look like?

And another question: Why do you use emerge-webrsync? Is emerge --sync not enough? The manual says:

Quote:
NOTE: The emerge-webrsync program will download the entire ebuild repository as a tarball, which is much faster than emerge --sync for first time syncs.

This is a first time sync as I read OP?

Checked, it runs as root, also tar, and root has write access
Code:

stat /var/db/repos/gentoo

Code:
  File: /var/db/repos/gentoo
  Size: 4096            Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   directory
Device: fc07h/64519d    Inode: 153361      Links: 2
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)

That is out of context since the parent dir .tmp-unverified-download-quarantine need to be created as well, anyway

Code:
mkdir -pv "/var/db/repos/gentoo/.tmp-unverified-download-quarantine/sys-auth"
from the cli produces
Code:
mkdir: created directory '/var/db/repos/gentoo/.tmp-unverified-download-quarantine'
mkdir: created directory '/var/db/repos/gentoo/.tmp-unverified-download-quarantine/sys-auth'

Okay, I do not have any ideas anymore.

Maybe what does emerge-webrsync say now (after you created the path)? And still: What is the output of

Code:
cat /etc/portage/repos.conf


or whatever your repos.conf-path is.

What happens if you download a snapshot manually?

ie. from here https://gentoo.osuosl.org/releases/snapshots/current/

or go here for other mirrors: https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/mirrors/

and try and untar it?

Based on the output provided, it looks to me like (1) there are insufficient inodes and (2) this is masked by the process cleaning up after itself. For my most recent sync:
Code:
$ find /usr/portage/ -print | wc
 163379  163379 8601681
Assuming no hard links, that means you need 163379 free inodes to store that tree. That exceeds the IFree shown for / in the first post. If that df -i output is collected at any time other than when tar has just failed, and no cleanup has been done, then it will show as free inodes that were used during the unpack. Perhaps more interestingly, if I truncate the find at the specified bad file, I get 143840 lines, which is suspiciously close to the IFree shown in the first post. Throw in that there may be a bit of variance between the tree I checked and the tree that the OP used, and it could line up.

OP: could you sync to a filesystem with more free inodes, as a test?

The issue seems with mounting LVM Logical Volumes for stacked mount points, e.g.

Code:
mount -vt ext4 LABEL=usr /mnt/gentoo/usr -o defaults,journal_checksum,nodev,relatime
mount -vt ext4 LABEL=usr_local /mnt/gentoo/usr/local -o defaults,journal_checksum,nodev,relatime


In which case /usr/local is not accessible and thus lacking the underlying space provided by the physical volume. Subsequently then the root volume is probably too small to proceed with the installation since lacking the necessary space.

Previously I did not use LVM and mounting physical volumes to stacked mount points, e.g.

Code:
/var
/var/log
/var/mail
/var/tmp
/var/spool
/var/usr


never been an issue. Not sure what makes LVM Logical Volumes different.

LVM does not matter here. What does matter is the capacity of the filesystem receiving the writes. If you created a tiny filesystem on an LVM volume, then that filesystem will be tiny and unable to receive the tree. You would get the same problem if you made a tiny filesystem directly on a partition.

Surely concur about the size but that is not the matter really. The issue is that stacked mount points are not working with LVM the same way as it does with with physical volumes and that shrinks the available space if those logical volumes are not available/accessible.

Mounting e.g. physical volumes to

Code:
/var
/var/tmp


works as expcted, i.e. both directories are accessible. But mounting Logical Volumes exhibits differently, e.g. mounting in the aforementioned order /var/tmp would be inaccessible as mount point and mounting to /var/tmp fails. Reversing the mount order to

Code:
/var/tmp
/var


both LV getting mounted but any subdirectory of /var is not accessible (as in hidden).
