I set up a server system a little while ago, and in performing updates |
2 |
to portage it ran out of disk space as I didn't quite allow enough space |
3 |
on the root partition (3.8 GB). As a result, I took a partition that I |
4 |
had cleaned up (this was from a rebuild of a system that was a different |
5 |
distro in the past) and moved over /usr/portage to it. It's a 47 GB |
6 |
partition (as reported by df -h) and the system works fine. |

I do realize that if the mount command got screwed up, I'd probably have |
9 |
issues recovering the system, but that is that system. |

I am now thinking of converting my desktop over to Gentoo as well, and |
12 |
was wondering whether what I did above on the server was wise or not. I |
13 |
will be using the server as the portage provider for my desktop too. |
14 |
Otherwise, what is the recommended space to have available for the |
15 |
portage tree in /usr/portage so I can have root as an appropriately |
16 |
sized partition? |

TIA, |
