That was annoying so I was looking for a different solution. Mounting on access is fine (they're frontends, I only update them every few months as there's not many packages on them.) Dan

I think autofs will fit that type of solution And why just don't put if in fstab and forget about it?

I was thinking about a wrapper too but figured there must be a more elegant way. I think autofs will fit that type of solution; I'm going to look into that. Dan

A wrapper script in your ~/bin directory might be better, as it would let you unmount the directory after emerge has finished. You may need to add that to your execution $PATH variable in .bashrc ~/bin/emerge #!/bin/bash mount /usr/portage/packages emerge $* umount /usr/portage/packages -- Reverend Paul Colquhoun, ULC. http://andor.dropbear.id.au/ Asking for technical help in newsgroups?

Something like this in /etc/portage/env/media-tv/mythtv
pre_pkg_setup {
mount whatever wherever
}
may do what you want. I haven't tested it but a similar approach works
with post install functions for me.

[gentoo-user] Emerge and binary packages
Hi all, Some background: I run mythtv with a single backend and five frontends. For many, many years I've been using binpkg to help ease the compile pain on my Intel NUC Celeron-based frontends. I use distcc on one to compile all my packages and export /usr/portage/packages via nfs. I am wondering if it's possible to get emerge to mount /usr/portage/packages before actually emerging anything. I've been mounting that directory manually but once in a while I forget to. Dan
