hi,
after an emerge -e world, used disk space i 2gb greater than before. I think that something goes wrong, this is the output of du -sh /*

You can get rid of /var/tmp/portage/*, and /usr/portage/distfiles/* safely

Ausmusj1 is right. These two directories tend to fill up quickly, especially after you do emerge [OPTIONS] world commands. You can set up cron jobs to empty these directories out periodically, just make sure that this won't be done while you're trying to emerge something.
