That should be ok.
Try doing the emerge in an xterm, then in another xterm issue $ watch df -h and see if the disk space actually gets filled by something. I'm guessing but it could be some temporary file somewhere that somehow gets huge. Perhaps if you see the disk space shrink, quickly pause the emerge with Ctrl+Z then see if you can find the suspect file in either /tmp or /var/tmp - it's contents might help out a bit. Hope that helps... -- Tom Wesley
