is ages ago.  I think the fix was to reset which compiler it is set to use.  I used to keep two installed, in case one would fail or some package couldn't build with a newer version yet.  If I recall correctly, I would list the available options with gcc-config -l and then if two are available, set to older one and then change back or if only one is installed, just set it to the one you have.  It's been a good while and it could be that the cause of the problem has changed but I don't think it will hurt anything to try this.  I think some settings gets messed up and resetting it fixes it.  Hope that helps.  If not, clueless.  :/ Dale :-)  :-)

k that thing.  LOL  I do plan to use encryption and they will be locked when not in use.  I use cryptsetup commands to do all that.  I think it is dmcrypt on the low level stuff.  It's one reason I wanted to stay away from the Raspberry.  It is low power which is great but not so much when using encrypted files.  Then there is the USB to SATA thing that I've had bad experiences with.  It's not like hal but still, I've had hard drives in USB enclosures turn into door stops.  I just don't trust it.  It would make me worry, a lot. This certainly something I need to deal with tho.  This fast internet is like poking a hornets nest.  It's causing all kinds of problems.  ROFL  Dale :-)  :-)

I do not want any loss in data.  Given my weird way of doing backups, rsync may be the best option.  Plus, easier to restore from as well since it just requires a copy command, any of them will do.  Looks like bigger hard drives is the best idea for now.  I really need a proper backup plan tho.  I just wish a NAS would fit in my fire safe.  ;-) Dale :-)  :-)

I found it for you.  The package is app-admin/eclean-kernel.  I think there is a wiki page on the Gentoo website for that.  I recall it being pretty easy to use.  Hope that helps. Dale :-)  :-)

it is pretty stable.  That said, I have some with many months of uptime. When I upgrade to a new kernel, I run for a month or so and then manually clean out /boot, that would include kernel, init thingy, System.map and config files.  Seeing this reminds me it might be a good time to look into updating, even tho I might not reboot for a while yet.  Just a thought.  Dale :-)  :-)

ng this: du -shc /boot/* | sort -h That will show the size of files in /boot and sort them from smallest to largest. It could be that you have a large number of kernels and maybe init thingys in there.  If so, some house cleaning may be required.  Dale :-)  :-)

not apply to them.  I'd suggest either filing a bug against whatever package is touching /dev or maybe posting on -dev mailing list.  Unless you know what package is doing this, it may not get much if any response.  Hard to fix something when it is unknown what to fix.  Hope that helps.
