According to my emerge --info output I have sandbox, usersandbox and userpriv, all set. The owner of my portage directory and all files therein is root:root. Should the ownership be portage:portage? What is the default? I haven't performed a full portage sync for a while now to confirm how long it takes here, but a re-sync over a slow ADSL takes ~20 minutes on a dual core ancient Intel, much less on my more modern PCs. More than 80% of this time is spent on verifying the signatures of the downloaded tmp sync file. I would think on a modern AMD Ryzen PC like the OP's it should take a fraction of the time. -- Regards, Mick
