I have to agree with this one a lot. I have redone my setup many |
| 21 |
times. I to am testing the waters with EVMS. It seems that unless you |
| 22 |
have a 300GB drive with huge partitions, there is never enough room. I |
| 23 |
have considered just having a separate /boot and that is it. May lead |
| 24 |
to a lot of fragmenting over time but I wouldn't have to keep moving |
| 25 |
things around either. |

5 to 6GBs for portage or distfiles has always been large enough for me |
| 28 |
though. Just run eclean-pkg and eclean-dist every once in a while to |
| 29 |
clean out the old stuff. |

Hope that helps a little. |
