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