Cool! As things currently are gentoo_usr.tgz is in /dev/hda2, which is destined to house the /usr/portage directory. /dev/hda2 is a 4.0G partition with only 74M available. My /usr is more than 3.9G large. /dev/hda3 will have the rest of the filesystem (and the remaining /usr directory). |

What should I run to untar the rest of /usr (excluding /usr/portage) into /dev/hda3 and at the same time delete it from within the gentoo_usr.tgz archive, so that I get some space in /dev/hda2 to untar /usr/portage? Really, what I think is needed here is untarring of the archive, while untarred data is dynamically deleted immediately after untarred to make space for more data to be untarred . . . do I make sense? |
