[gentoo-user] /usr is full
Hi, While trying to run emerge today I got the message that there was not enough disk space. I ran df and noticed that /usr is 100% full. I am wonderring whether there is an easy way to clean it up. I'd rather not resize my partitions, and it's likely that there's a lot of junk in there that I don't need. Is it safe to remove the stuff in /usr/portage/distfiles? Thanks! -- Jason -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] /usr is full
The only problem with this approach is that I don't have enough space to download http-replicator. I'll try this as soon as I get things somewhat cleaned-up. Thanks for the advice! -Jason On Sun, 29 Jan 2006, Dale wrote: Jason W Elliot wrote: Hi, While trying to run emerge today I got the message that there was not enough disk space.

I can tell you how I cleaned my distfiles out. I installed http-replicator and let it clean them out. It knows what source files are no longer going to be used, to old and not in portage any more, and then you can delete the old ones. It will list them too. If you do this, don't forget to put the proxy line in make.conf and point it back to itself. Basically it moves everything to cache then you can delete the rest in distfile. If you do a emerge, it just puts them back. Sounds strange but it worked well for me. I also use it for three servers connected here on a LAN. It was a fringe benefit I guess.

Thanks! This looks like exactly what I need. I'm running it right now. -Jason On Sun, 29 Jan 2006, Philip Webb wrote: 060129 Jason W Elliot wrote: While trying to run emerge today I got the message that there was not enough disk space.

[gentoo-user] sacked my rc.conf
I accidentally removed my rc.conf file (don't ask). I'm not sure how to write a new one. Is there a good set of defaults to start with? Is there an easy way to recover the old one, or generate a new one? Please help! My configuration now sucks! Thanks in advance! -- Jason -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
