Thanks for the replies, guys. Yes. This setup works here also and I have no breakages, but since I've let the x86 machies use shared portage tree I have the feeling the performance of portage dropped down notably.
I don't know what happens at the end of "emerge --sync", what the metadata consists of and if it is the same for each arch and installation. Should I do "emerge --regen" after syncing on each machine or something like that? P.S. For sure it's not the network connection that slows down the searches, because I made some tests on the NFS which showed transfer speeds in the range of 6.5 to 10MiB/s. I think it's just fine on a 100Mbit connection. -- Best regards, Daniel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
