 Can you post the output of df -i?  Free space is only one
 consideration.  The other is free inodes.

Thanks for the reply, Nikos.

Running df -i showed the following on this Gentoo install:
 
Filesystem  InodesIUsedIFree IUse%Mounted on
rootfs1038352325350713002   32% /
/dev/root 10383523253507130022%/

/dev/sdc12   1770720 825   17698951%   /home

On this install, my root partition is /dev/sdc11 which is 17 GB and contains 
/var.  I have /home on a separate partition.

My other 2 installs have /var on separate partitions of 9 GB.  The IUse% on 
those partitions is 4%.  So I should have plenty of inodes available.

Thanks again for the reply. I need to run more tests here. If I determine this 
really is a problem and it persists, I will re-post for more help.

Cheers,

Special thanks to Alan and Nikos for offering help.

This morning I came up with a great idea for a test. I decided to re-emerge a 
package that I know always logs a message to /var/log/portage/elog.

The package was nvidia-drivers, and after the emerge completed, I checked 
/var/log/portage/elog and the expected message was there!

So, it appears my system is working properly.  I apparently just went through 
a period of time during which none of the packages brought in by emerge -uNDv 
world had any messages that needed to be logged.

Sorry for the apparent unnecessary post. Sure is embarrassing, but I continue 
to learn and you guys gave some new things to try in the future.

Grateful for the suggestions,

billyd
