Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
It's been quite a few years but I decided to try another Gentoo |
| 4 |
install (on a VirtualBox instance). I wanted to try out some new |
| 5 |
things... |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I created a ton of partitions including /usr (I want to see if I can |
| 8 |
get that to work), /portage, and /distfiles. The idea was to mount |
| 9 |
/portage on top of /usr and /distfiles on top of /portage. This all |
| 10 |
works fine. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
However, when I try to extract the Portage snapshot, I get "No space |
| 13 |
left on device" a long way into the untar process. According to df |
| 14 |
/portage (i.e. /mnt/gentoo/usr/portage) is only 35% full. In fact, not |
| 15 |
a single partition or mount is even close to full (except for |
| 16 |
/mnt/static, the DVD). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
If I untar directly to /usr (after unmounting /portage), everything |
| 19 |
works fine. If I then try to copy or move to /portage, I get the "No |
| 20 |
space left on device" again. And at the same place. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Does anyone know what's going on here? I didn't realize I was doing |
| 23 |
such strange things. At least not this early on. :-) |

Cheers, |
