[gentoo-user] Can't emerge glibc as it completely fills /var

2005-07-18 Thread Mark Knecht
OK, I'm flummoxed. Have I just gotten lucky all these years? I attempted to emerge a new glibc this morning and I cannot because it completely fills my 2.7GB /var partition in the process and I end with a 'no space on device' message! Obviously the emerge doesn't finish and I'm left to clean up
