I am using ccache-2.4-r8 and portage-2.2_rc17 and have FEATURES="sandbox ccache userpriv userfetch parllel-fetch" in make.conf This morning, when I tried to emerge wine, I got the following message: # emerge wine [...] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -m32 -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -D__WINESRC__ -D_GDI32_ -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -Wall -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wwrite-strings -Wtype-limits -Wpointer-arith -march=native -O2 -pipe -o enhmfdrv/mapping.o enhmfdrv/mapping.c Assembler messages: Fatal error: can't create /var/tmp/ccache/tmp.hash.leftboat.561.o: No space left on device make[2]: *** [enhmfdrv/mapping.o] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/wine-1.1.10/work/wine-1.1.10/dlls/gdi32' make[1]: *** [gdi32] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/wine-1.1.10/work/wine-1.1.10/dlls' make: *** [dlls] Error 2 * * ERROR: app-emulation/wine-1.1.10 failed. Of course, this error is totally bogus: # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 299463624 59183948 225067732 21% / /dev/sda6 299463624 59183948 225067732 21% / udev 10240 64 10176 1% /dev shm 2013580 76 2013504 1% /dev/shm rc-svcdir 1024 112 912 11% /lib64/rc/init.d /dev/sda5 1959808 614792 1345016 32% /usr/portage My guess is that the ccache cache on disk is now taking over 2G (or whatever the default maximum limit is). But I don't understand why portage doesn't simply automatically delete old cache files to free up some space. # emerge --info Portage 2.2_rc17 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r0, 2.6.28-rc7-git1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.28-rc7-git1-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_P7370_@_2.00GHz-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 06 Dec 2008 17:00:01 +0000 distcc 3.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p48 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r8 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r8 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.2 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.3.0-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r3 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r4, 2.19 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch parllel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en ru" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/auto-portage /usr/local/portage/layman/sunrise /usr/local/portage/layman/gnome /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aac accessibility acl acpi alsa amd64 avahi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr cjk cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups curl dbus dirac djvu doc dri dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds emacs emboss encode esd evo exif fam fftw firefox flac fortran galago gdbm gif gimp gmp gnome gnome-keyring gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk guile hal iconv idn ieee1394 imlib inotify ipv6 isdnlog jack java jbig jpeg jpeg2k juju kde lame latex lcms ldap libnotify lua mad midi mikmod mmx mng mono mp3 mpeg mudflap multilib mysql nautilus ncurses nls nptl nptlonly odbc ogg openal openexr opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl png policykit postgres ppds pppd pulseaudio python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection ruby samba schroedinger sdl session socks5 speex spell spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcl tcpd theora threads tiff tk tracker truetype unicode usb v4l v4l2 vim-syntax vorbis webkit x264 xattr xcb xinerama xml xmp xorg xprint xulrunner xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info lapack log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation proxy proxy_http rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" APACHE2_MPMS="worker" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics wacom" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en ru" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel v4l vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I apologize, this seems to be a filesystem problem.
