Re: [gentoo-user] Re: VPS has issues emerging everything
This issue happend after a 'emerge -uDN world' after I had not done any updates for a bit over 60 days. (I was just too busy) I already have: sys-apps/portage-2.1.9.25 and I don't have smartctl, what pkg is it in? I'm not sure it will give valid info though as this is a VPS and everything is XENified. My root device is /dev/xvda to give you an idea... But I did run an fsck, a pretty thorough one like fsck.ext3 -c -c -f or something like that... I also added another option that made it super verbose, so I don't know if anything was found, just that *filesystem was modified* by it... I just did the following emerge, these packages had not been recompiled by the emerge -e system that crashed. They all compiled top shape, but the problem doesn't happen on every package, so it's hard to tell... emerge app-shells/bash sys-apps/util-linux sys-fs/e2fsprogs dev-lang/python sys-apps/portage sys-apps/baselayout sys-fs/udev sys-apps/busybox I will redo a simple fsck.ext3 -c -c -f /dev/xvda and see what it says exactly (if it says anything). And then i will --sync and -e @system again... I'll reply to the list with my results...

I don't think the error is portage related, the steps that the OP mention where things freeze are config/compile. If it wasn't a virtual machine, I would suspect cpu throttling, overheating or even memory corruption. Those could apply to VMs, but the host running Xen would have general problems. Maybe trying a manual compile, just to exclude portage as a player... You could monitor IO and CPU and see exactly what process is resource hungry. -- Daniel da Veiga
