Bug 185831 – emerge occasionally craps out when installing a large number of binary packages

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: VERIFIED CANTFIX

[Description Joshua Hoblitt 2007-07-19 03:42:13 UTC]

This is error is difficult to reproduce but it does happen from time to time.  Interestingly enough it can always be recovered from by running `emerge --resume`.

What type of filesystem is PORTDIR on?  Is there anything about it that might make it unreliable?  This looks more like a local problem than and issue with portage.

[Comment 2 Joshua Hoblitt 2007-07-21 02:33:26 UTC]

It's sitting on NFS... your probably right that we're hitting NFS timeouts.
