Hi folks, my gentoo-driven notebook has just a small harddisk, so moved /var/tmp/portage to an nfs volume (directly mounted there). This produces really strange problems, if the directory is empty: portage cannot create the directory ../$pkg/temp, but $pkg/ and several things beyond are created. Portage aborts with an exception. I suspect some permission problem. Strange: when unmounting it, starting portage until it has created the sourcetree, moving it away, remounting and moving the already- prepared sourcetree to the now mounted nfs dir, works fine, also with other packages following. Does anyone have an idea what this can be ?
I have some portage stuff mounted with nfs, the only way for portage to work with those dirs was to set "no_root_squash" at /etc/exports at the host machine... I don't know why, even with full permissions, portage refused to work. But I was warned at the NFS howto that this kind of administrative task would require this... So, I just setup some firewall rules and enhanced security a bit... -- Daniel da Veiga Computer Operator - RS - Brazil -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCM/IT/P/O d-? s:- a?
