Hello,
Currently I see that the usage of /var/tmp/db exceeds 3 times the apparentsize of the filesystem (XFS), on another filesystem with EXT3 had a number between 2 and 3. For /usr/portage this number is 1.5. Now it seems obvious that one wants to do something about this situation. It is clear for me that non-filesystem based storage for small files, hence databases could potentially be more appropriate, maybe alternative filesystems could work out. Before I have stored my /usr/portage in squashfs and just distributed new files each time I did an update. Currently I'm using the filesystem again, but provide all host /usr/portage by NFS. Are there any other alternatives for daily use with respect to /var/pkg/db and /usr/portage?
