If /usr/portage includes mount points, emerge-webrsync will exaust errors for them, because it cant delete them: -- emerge-webrsync Fetching most recent snapshot ...

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install gentoo, configure, have some directories within /usr/portage mounted 2. Call "emerge-webrsync" Actual Results: rsync will exaust warnings for every mounted directory, because it cant delete it, or set timestamps Expected Results: Should not mumble about mounted directories not able to delete. It should not touch them at all. This would be useful to be fixed, because it silences an errorless emerge-webrsync run. It is not an error not being able to delete a mountpoint.
This is what emerge-webrsync does: local rsync_opts="${PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS} ${PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS}" Can you try setting PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS="--one-file-system" in make.conf to see if that helps?
