Actually I had problems with my portage beeing to big, but I found a post on it and changed the blocksize to 1024. The reason why my portage was filling up was that I had the distfiles in the same directory. I've moved it now, and portage is treating me OK now.
If the problem with portage filling up (ie. the filesystem says the disk is full but it's at 51%) it is possible to check the amount of free inodes. I had 51% of disk space free, but 0% inodes. Now it looks like:
Code: | Inodes:
/dev/hda6 483K 136K 348K 29% /usr/portage
Disk space:
/dev/hda6 905M 633M 224M 74% /usr/portage

One Short Question concerning the abuse of the "copy/format/copy back"-thing
as a defrag-alternative:
Wouldn't it be easyer to image the whole system disk (which I do regularly for system backups) and then writing back the complete image? |

I guess the image thing wouldn't be as effective, since I always took an image - correct me if I'm mistaken here - to be a bit-by-bit representation of things on the volume. So you'd be writing back exactly the same thing, wouldn't you? _________________ 0mFg, G3nt00 r0X0r$ T3h B1g!1111

Complete with any already existing fragmentation. At least using the dd method anyway. |
