My preference, since I normally mount with noatime, is: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
mount /u/p/distfiles -o remount,atime (yes, I keep distfiles on a |
| 27 |
separate LVM volume!) |
| 28 |
emerge --deep --emptytree --fetchonly world (updates atimes) |
| 29 |
mount /u/p/distfiles -o remount,noatime |
| 30 |
find /u/p/distfiles -amin +60 -exec rm -v {} \; |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
The above commands will remove all distfiles not needed anymore, either |
| 33 |
due to updates or unmerge packages. |
