[gentoo-user] Volume full during world update - how to clean up now?
Hi, during an emerge -u worldthe root partition got filled nearly entirely so emerge stopped during updating (exactly: during compilation) of OpenOffice. I moved a few directories to other partitions and restarted the emerge command, it tells me: emerge (1 of 1) app-office/openoffice-1.1.0 to / This is fine, but there is something very strange: In /var/tmp/portage/ there are a lot of directories full of files (all together more than 2GB) - I asume this is because the previous emerge run was stopped due to lack of disk space, sp probably it did not clean up like usually... it looks like these files are the sources where my packages get build from. Am I allowed to erase the contente of /var/tmp/portage after the emerge has finished running - or would that be less wise? :-) TIA, Karl-Heinz -- Karl-Heinz Zimmer, Senior Software Engineer, Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

Emerge will remove the tmp directory and remake it each time you emerge a given package. So removing them yourself wont make any difference. Doug -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

FYI, emerge openoffice... requires 4-5G temp space! Since I don't have this much space in my normal file systems, I have to mount a temporary partition for work use. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
