Hi Tero,
what I meant with "redo my partitions" was in the way that I will expand
my gentoo partition (or try to).
I have:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda4 4.6G 3.8G 803M 83% /
^^ *might* be enough for a minimal system, but not for your compiles or
distfiles.
udev 252M 808K 252M 1% /dev
^^ Why a separate partition for /dev? This is complete waste. Especially
with that size.
/dev/hda5 23G 20G 3.3G 86% /mnt/share
^^ You'll *never* need that much space in here. Do not have this on a
separate partition. Maybe you could make this partition your /home ?
/dev/hda1 9.8G 8.0G 1.8G 82% /mnt/windows
^^ Complete waste ;)
none 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm
Options:
- erase hda1 (win$) and merge with with hda4.
- somehow rearrange hda5 (which is FAT) and split it 2, and merge a part
to hda4.
It is up to you how to rearrange them but I suggest that you have only
these partitions for Gentoo:
/boot
/
/home (optional but recommended)
(+swap)
what are the advantages of pointing PORTAGE_TMPDIR and DISTDIR to other
partitions?
The idea is, ofcourse, to give your compiles and distfiles more room.
This in turn would free up space for your system.
thanks for the localepurge tip:
- Total disk space freed by localepurge: 48448K (not bad ;)
Yeah, it's great. BTW, check out the 'userlocales' USE flag for glibc too.
It will speed up the compilation and save some space.
