The /usr directory on my gentoo box is taking up 6.8 gigs of disk space, 2.8 gigs of which is in /usr/portage. This does not seem right. Is it possible to reduce this disk usage?
eclean distfiles eclean packages eclean is part of app-portage/gentoolkit. It is pretty conservative by default, so you should read the man page and consider using the --destructive option. You may also consider moving /usr/portage/distfiles and /usr/portage/packages to another filesystem where you have more room. Again, "man make.conf", and look for the DISTDIR and PKGDIR options. On my system, the filesystem that contains /usr/portage is only 1G in size! -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
