Anyway to clean out unneeded files in /etc? I'm thinking about
files that may be there but the programs are no longer
installed. I read the man page for dep but didn't see anything.
Dang thing does a lot tho.
You could use the very long way round, something based on this:
find /etc/ -type f -exec equery belongs {} \;
then leave it alone for an hour or three
H, I had to stop that after a few minutes. It sort of took
away from my folding. Pushed my CPU to about 80% or so.
There has to be a tool for this too. Gentoo has about everything
else.
I do a similar thing every month as a cron job. It' runs at night so
I just get an email the next day.

It doesn't handle filenames with spaces, I tried with

that works with spaces, but has awful performances, so that's completely
unusable on /usr.
BTW I also tried to remove false positive hiding /usr/portage and the
overlays folder .
Does anyone know how to deal with spaces (to avoid false positives) and
keep reasonable running times?

Change -print to -print0 and change xargs to xargs -0.
I should also say that that script is not fool-proof. It goes under the
assumption that files are always going to be installed by the ebuild
src_install process. Experience shows this is not always the case. For
example the *.pyc files, some, /etc/*, font-cache files, etc. are
installed during post-install and so are not recorded by portage as
belonging to a package. Common sense always prevails. Of course a
person cleaning out an /etc/ dir that you hasn't been cleaned out in
five years is going to require considerably more common sense than one
who cleaned theirs out last month.
I've also modified the script to exclude /usr/portage and /usr/local
(they were on separate filesystems for me so I didn't need to). You may
need to tweak it further for your needs.

the overlays folder .
Does anyone know how to deal with spaces (to avoid false positives)
and
keep reasonable running times?
Change -print to -print0 and change xargs to xargs -0.
I should also say that that script is not fool-proof. It goes under
the assumption that files are always going to be installed by the
ebuild src_install process. Experience shows this is not always the
case. For example the *.pyc files, some, /etc/*, font-cache files,
etc. are installed during post-install and so are not recorded by
portage as belonging to a package. Common sense always prevails. Of
course a person cleaning out an /etc/ dir that you hasn't been
cleaned out in five years is going to require considerably more
common sense than one who cleaned theirs out last month.
I've also modified the script to exclude /usr/portage and /usr/local
(they were on separate filesystems for me so I didn't need to). You
may need to tweak it further for your needs.

It works very well. It's perfect for the purpose.
I already found many leftover here and there.
As you say the script gives clues, but obviously it can't be automated.
Thanks

[gentoo-user] Rate limiting TCP connections...
I've a Netgear DG834G router - and I connect two machines to it using Ethernet... one Gentoo; one Windows... it works reasonably well... I hit a snag when downloading a large file from Gentoo - for example a multi-meg portage archive. At such times, the Windows PC seems to be given a rather unfair share of the bandwidth... with the Gentoo box getting 60K/s but the windows PC sometimes even failing to establish DNS lookups before they time-out. Is there a straightforward way to make my Gentoo box 'play fair' and not hog 100% of the bandwidth? Does anyone else have this problem?

Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is there a straightforward way to make my Gentoo box 'play fair' and not hog 100% of the bandwidth? If your router doesn't give you bandwidth and/or traffic shaping control, you can drop some packets. For example, the following rule will accept up to 50 packets per second and drop the rest. The TCP protocol will retry and slow down. iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m limit --limit 50/sec -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -j DROP Does anyone else have this problem? Yes, everyone using TCP :) You can read Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control for more info (http://lartc.org/).

Snappy answer... but I'm pretty sure I've never seen this before - on a wide range of OS and network topologies. I didn't have the same problem with two Windows PCs connected to the same router - and it is always the Gentoo box that wins in the landgrab-war for bandwidth. It might also be worth mentioning that the Gentoo box serves DNS for my LAN - so, the DNS request will get from my Windows PC to my Gentoo box without any problem... so, it is actually a fight between bind on gentoo and the download of packages during emerge that pose my annoyance. I wonder, is it likely relevant that named is running as an ordinary user - while emerge is run as root? I also noticed that incoming emails to my postfix mail server timed out during this period... timeout after RCPT from extern.server.org... It seems odd to me.

You could add a destination parameter with -d but that wouldn't catch any downloads of packages from other than your primary mirror, and I agree that this is not the correct solution anyway.

I didn't have the same problem with two Windows PCs connected to the same router - and it is always the Gentoo box that wins in the landgrab-war for bandwidth. This should happen. Absent any sort of Quality of Service mechanisms, TCP windowing should adjust so that all flows get a roughly equal share of bandwidth. Certain protocols, primarily p2p, will create multiple flows and so gobble up more than their fair share but even then you shouldn't get starvation to the point where DNS times out. Even if emerge were using bittorrent you shouldn't see that much congestion.

I wonder, is it likely relevant that named is running as an ordinary user - while emerge is run as root? I'm not aware of any mechanism on Linux to set network priority based on the process owner. Linux does support QoS and various types of queues, so it might be possible to, say, set up a priority queue which would have the effect you're seeing. I'm not aware of any way to do queuing based on process owner but Linux is such a powerful and diverse system that no one is familiar with every aspect of it's capabilities. There's lots of stuff you can do that I'm not aware of. If it can be done, it certainly would not be the default setup of any sane package. It would be something you'd have to do yourself. I also noticed that incoming emails to my postfix mail server timed out during this period... timeout after RCPT from extern.server.org... It seems odd to me. It is odd, although unfortunately I'm not sure what to tell you as to how to go about fixing it. I think the first thing I'd do is to make sure that it really is congestion that's causing the problem. You could implement something similar to the iptables rule listed above temporarily and see if that causes the symptoms to change or disappear.

Snappy answer... but I'm pretty sure I've never seen this before - on a wide range of OS and network topologies. I didn't have the same problem with two Windows PCs connected to the same router - Ah!! But Windows (XP) uses TC by default. It doesn't use 20% of the network bandwidth unless you tweak some registry setting and/or disable QoS in network properties. [snip] It seems odd to me. Why? Is pretty obvious what's happening: your Linux box is eating all the bandwidth with the MB download because _by_default_ Linux doesn't do any TC at all. If the iptables thingy was too aggressive, try a --limit-rate (or --rate-limit; I can't never get it right) in wget. Regards, Norberto This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

There's a much easier way. As root: mount -o bind / /path/to/some/arb/dir see man mount Thank you very much. That was the problem. some files have been hidden in /mnt/backup. I deleted them and problem is solved. Thanks again Platoali
