The first thing I'd do it set PORTAGE_TMPDIR to somewhere less important |
| 11 |
than /var. You don't want to risk corrupting system files while sorting |
| 12 |
this out. It would also show whether the problem was with an ebuild or |
| 13 |
the filesystem. Use a tmpfs filesystem if you have the memory. |
