Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a major problem right now. I've been using gentoo for
several months now and I simply lllooove it!
So here's the thing. When I use gentoo for a long time, even without
updating the current pack of installed software (emerge -uD world), I am
left without disk space... In situations like this I start deleting
/var/tmp/*, /tmp/*, /usr/portage/distfiles/*, maybe do even a
revdep-rebuild to fix something, but even then I'm left with no more
then 100 mb, which obviously is not enough ...
So this time I googled a bit and I deleted all the /usr/share/doc/ and
this left me with 2.5 gb of space (wow).
So the questions are ... in cases like this, what should be done? what
is storing this much space? logs?
Install sys-fs/ncdu and run it as root with "ncdu -x /". It's gonna
take a bit to scan everything, but after that you should be able to tell
what's taking up all the space.
