You should check that it is enabled and that you have rotated files |

in /var/log. |

No, because other filesystems are mounted against mount points in /, not |
| 18 |
in /mnt/tmp. You mentioned that /usr/portage is mounted via NFS, |
| 19 |
so /mnt/tmp/usr/portage should be empty. The bind mount gives a true |
| 20 |
indication of what is using the space on that filesystem. |
