Hello all, Weird things are going on. I updated last niht, and had the same results in /usr/tmp/portage and /var/tmp/portage.
This is the result of an ls -la on /usr/tmp: Grenouille root # ls -la /usr/tmp/ total 12 drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 4096 Jun 18 01:30 . drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Jun 14 04:48 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 13 20:09 .keep drwxr-xr-x 9 portage portage 4096 Jun 18 01:33 portage This is the result of an ls -la on /var/tmp: Grenouille root # ls -la /var/tmp total 12 drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 4096 Jun 18 01:30 . drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Jun 14 04:48 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 13 20:09 .keep drwxr-xr-x 9 portage portage 4096 Jun 18 01:33 portage It doesn't look like a symlink to me. And yet when I deleted /var/tmp/portage, /usr/tmp/portage disappeared as well. Is it possible to have "invisible" symlinks? What could be going on here? How do I find out if this is really symlinked, and why does the lnk keep reappearing after I delete it? I think if I get that taken care of, I might finally be able to switch the portage tmpdir.
