Neil - I doubt that could be a problem. I have 20 GB allocated to /usr partition alone! I think portage couldn't have filled all that up - I have had no problems of the sort on other machines, where my /usr partition was much smaller. I think hard drive failure is a possibility, although it's kind of funny that the failure should be limited to just that /usr partition! Or does that happen sometimes? I'll try badblocks and see what I get. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
