I removed /var/cache/edb, added "-metadata-transfer" to "FEATURES" and then put "portdbapi.auxdbmodule = cache.metadata_overlay.database" in "/etc/portage/modules". After the first "emerge -DuN world -p" which took about 6min to rebuild the cache now the performance is back to normal: emerge -DuN world takes about 1min - 1min30sec -- Best regards, Daniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
