31 I got what I posted from the ebuild. This is the path and what it expects:
32
33 root@fireball / # cat
34 /usr/portage/app-office/libreoffice/libreoffice-3.4.99.1-r1.ebuild |
35 grep DISK
36 use debug && CHECKREQS_DISK_BUILD="15G" ||
37 CHECKREQS_DISK_BUILD="9G"
38 root@fireball / #
39
40 If I read that correctly, 9Gbs of free space should be enough. Note
41 that is FREE space not the size of the partition. It doesn't actually
42 need that much in most cases but how much depends on USE flags and
43 such. The devs take what is the maximum it could take and make it look
44 for at least that much. Nobody wants to get that about 90% compiled to
45 run out of space.
46
47 If yours is looking for more than that then I would think it is
48 something outside the ebuild that is causing a issue. While it does
49 take a lot of space at times, I have never seen it take 16Gbs. I have
50 portages work directory on tmpfs and it never gives me a error and I
51 only have 16Gbs of ram.

60 Miss the compile output? Hint:
