Well, LVM is just what I mean ;) LVM...hm nice new word to me. And rsync too, looks good. Ok I will have a look when I'm safer. Got that emerge -v world to finish ;) I read about a tool to color the etc-update difference, can't find it again, if you know about it ;) thx Laurent.

In that case, permissions are not a problem as the directory will only be used by portage, just set DISTDIR=/home/distfiles in make.conf, no need to mess around with symlinks. -- Neil Bothwick Sex is hereditary.

[gentoo-user] cleaning disfiles
Hi, I need to clean disfiles or move it to /home/var/ftp/disfiles. For first is there a tool to emerge that will manage the distfiles. If not I was thinking copy to my home folder and symlink /var/ftp/distfiles to it. Is the second safe with just a symlink or should I change a PATH somewhere? I should do both solution. thank you Laurent

It's part of gentoolkit. eclean-dist is the command you are looking for. eclean-dist -h for more info. If you want to move the distfiles directory, you can change the path in make.conf and tell it where the new location is. You will have to copy the files from the old location to the new location tho. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)

Yes it help, got 50 M clean with eclean.

I add?
