Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
My distfiles is getting quite big and I was thinking of symlinking it |
| 4 |
to another partition (just as a temporary solution until I find the |
| 5 |
time to re-partition my hard drive). I know I could just delete what I |
| 6 |
don't use, but I hope to keep them until the planned reinstall of |
| 7 |
Gentoo, so that I can use at least part of the 1.1 GiB (my bandwith is |
| 8 |
limited). |

Can symlinking /usr/portage/distfiles (and even /usr/tmp/portage) to |
| 11 |
directories on another ext2 partition hurt Portage? Are there any |
| 12 |
common pitfalls to this procedure? Are the rights on these directories |
| 13 |
preserved at the next mount or do I also have to edit fstab? |
| 14 |
|

Thanks, |
