*if* you move /usr/portage to something like reisterfs, you will get |
| 5 |
better performacem even on slower machines. my PIII/800 can update the |
| 6 |
cache in ~ 3 minutes now .... ext3 just doesn't cut it in a busy tree |
| 7 |
like portage ... the filesystem just isn't quick enough .... there are |
| 8 |
some other things you can do like using xfs/jfs for |
| 9 |
/usr/portage/distfiles and what not, but that' just a start. First thing |
| 10 |
is first, fix portage, then if you like, contact me off list and I can |
| 11 |
help you tweak emerge so it runs a little quicker and still be safe :D |
