 |
|
Ok, I've got a laptop I'm trying to install gentoo on. The / partition is only 1200MB so compiling X is a problem. I tried mounting /var/tmp/portage onto another machine with a larger hd but it seemed to mess up permissions (eg. all the files in /etc/X11 were owned by nobody.
Is there some options I can specify with the mount or certain permissions i should use with the portage dir on client/server. When I did it, I simply made the dir as root. Though now, it looks like the permissions on the server dir are drwxrwxrwx while the original dir is drwxr-xr-x. I may have chmod'ed it 777 in haste b/c it wouldn't let me write to that dir from the client. Could I chown -R root:root / to get everything owned again?
Does anyone have any experience with this or ideas?
TIA!

Maybe if I use no_root_squash on the server.

I think you would have to do this, and I'm sure you know it's a scary thing to do from a security POV. I really really wish that portage didn't do its compilation as root.
