26 >>> Emerging (1 of 1) games-fps/americas-army-250 to /
27 !!! Insufficient space to store armyops250-linux.run in /usr/portage/distfiles
28 !!! Couldn't download 'armyops250-linux.run'. Aborting.
29 * Fetch failed for 'games-fps/americas-army-250'

31 $ eix ^portage$
32 sys-apps/portage
33 Installed versions: 2.2_pre5(20:42:44 28.03.2008)(-build doc
34 -epydoc -linguas_pl -selinux)
35
36
37 Package in about 700 Mb.

39 On local host:
40 $ df -h
41 <snip>
42 //fs/portage 512M 238M 275M 47% /var/lib/greenmice
43 <snip>
44
45 On fs:
46 $ df -h
47 <snip>
48 /dev/mapper/sys-distfiles
49 9.9G 2.3G 7.2G 24% /usr/portage/distfiles
50 /dev/mapper/sys-portage
51 512M 238M 275M 47% /usr/portage
52 <snip>
53
54 So you see, //fs/portage/ has only ~250 Mb free space, but there are a
55 lot of space in distfiles (and It is not emergency it distfiles would
56 be 100% used).
57 Is there any way to tell the portage "Turn it off, I know what I'm doing"?
58
59 Course I can make separate shares for distfiles and portage tree, but
60 I don't wanna to do it for several reasons.
