Hello, Gentoo. |
| 2 |

I'm having problems building rust. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I build everything in a ram disk, and last night my 13 Gb ram disk |
| 6 |
proved too small to build rust in. So I increased its size to 14 Gb, |
| 7 |
and tried again this evening. Same result. The pre-check on the disk |
| 8 |
size gave an OK both times, and both runs lasted about 45 minutes before |
| 9 |
running out of space. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Help! What am I supposed to do? I've got 16 Gb RAM (I'm _not_ going to |
| 12 |
use the word "only" here), and wondering just how big a chunk a ram disk |
| 13 |
can take out of that before the machine siezes up altogether. But if I |
| 14 |
increase the ram disk to 15 Gb, even assuming it'd work, it's only going |
| 15 |
to be a small number of releases before the clever people at rust |
| 16 |
increase their bloat even more. |
| 17 |

I know I could plump for the -bin package. Maybe I should. But before |
| 19 |
I do that, is it possible to redirect this one ebuild away from |
| 20 |
/var/tmp/portage (my ram disk) without disturbing the other builds? If |
| 21 |
so, how would I do this (or where should I look for documentation)? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Thanks for the help! |
