So after I excluded distfiles from my rsync, I found that the two |
| 2 |
partitions had roughly the same free space... strange! How could |
| 3 |
excluding around 6G of distfiles make two copies of the same thing the |
| 4 |
same size? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Well, it turns out I have the distfiles mounted with --bind to my |
| 7 |
ftp/pub directory. And looking in the rsync man page: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
-x, --one-file-system |
| 10 |
... |
| 11 |
Also keep in mind that rsync treats a "bind" mount to |
| 12 |
the same device as being on the same filesystem. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
So my distfiles were being copied in /usr/portage as well |
| 15 |
as /home/ftp/pub! |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Unfortunately the only way to get around it seems to be another |
| 18 |
--exclude directive. At least I understand what's going on now :) |

thanks for all the suggestions, |
