The Embedded Howto suggests mounting /proc and /usr/portage into the
development root filesystem. Is mounting portage such a wise idea?
Today, after having had a shell chrooted into the development
environment for over a week, I decided to exit the shell, move the
development environment out of the way, and create a new one. in the
same location. I did:
exit
mv /opt/i586... /opt/i586....bak
tar zxvf stage1-embedded -C /opt/i586....
And then for whatever reason:
rm -rf /opt/i586....
Now, the problem is, I still had /usr/portage mounted on /opt/
i586..../usr/portage, and I guess mount points don't move when you
move directories that contain them.
The bottom line is, I blew away my host computer's /usr/portage, and
now have to recover it.
Since the development root filesystem is stored on a desktop machines
harddrive, why not just have it get its own, separate portage tree?
