Subject: [gentoo-user] Sharing portage in my LAN without rsync?

1 Hi! Was Portage developed to work with a /usr/portage directory mounted
2 from another computer with NFS or SMB? I did it and it worked.

4 I thought this way could be easier than rsync when you have maybe two
5 or three computer working with the same network-shared directory. But I
6 noticed a poor performance even when the newtwork connection is very
7 good. And I get messages like this:

31 What's wrong? Maybe I should think seriously about to mirror the portage
32 directory with rsync? Is not this a good way?
33
34 I have another situation. I have a Gentoo Linux running as a server. It
35 runs also another linux inside thanks to UserMode-Linux. To avoid
36 having two portage directories, I use hostfs (UML stuff) to share the
37 portage between the two computers but in the Linux one where the
38 portage is not, I get the same errors messages and the performance is
39 so slow too!

41 Thanks, :).
