2 GB for a /usr partition looks quite small to me, but may by okay for a small installation. But to increase the number of inodes, you have backup /usr, re-create the partition with more inodes, and copy the stuff back. If you do not want to do so, you could move things to your home partition. I'd move /usr/portage first (and change the location in make.conf), that has many small files eating up many inodes. And if space is still getting small, just move other things like/usr/src, and set a symlink so /usr/src is still a valid path. Oh, and please: - Do not hijack threads. - Do not quote stuff that has absolutely no relevance, like the original posting you replied to, instead of starting a new one. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <meino.cra...@gmx.de> > To: "Gentoo" <gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org> > Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 10:15 AM > Subject: [gentoo-user] Harddisk trouble ... or not yet?
