Hello list, While building a new KDE system (see my post a few minutes ago), I'm finding the system stalling because it can't handle all its install jobs. I have this set:
$ grep '\-j' /etc/portage/make.conf EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs --load-average=30 [...]" MAKEOPTS="-j16 -l16" The CPU has 24 threads and 64GB RAM, and lots of swap space, and those values have worked well for some time. Now, though, I'm going to have to limit the --jobs or the --load-average. On interrupting one such hang, I found that 32 install jobs had been waiting to run; is this limit hard coded? I also saw "too many jobs" or something, and "could not read job counter". Is it now bug-report time? -- Regards, Peter.
