*** Bug 99148 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Sorry, out of disk space is not a Gentoo bug. It is! Since librarys do _not_ belong into the root directory / partition! Please take cognizance of this doument: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/disk-partitioning.html esp this sentence: The / file system will never need to be more than 100Meg. Make it that. The libs went to /usr/lib before so it should be kept that way! greetz (In reply to comment #3) > It is! Since librarys do _not_ belong into the root directory / partition! Sure, let's move all glibc stuff and all binaries needed to boot the system to /usr and break Gentoo for users that mount /usr via nfs or whatever. > The / file system will never need to be more than 100Meg. OK, tell the author of that page to fix his mistaken assumptions. No, I'm not taking off all stuff. But what about "/emul"? How come that there was plenty of space with prior versions of glibc installed on my system. Well I guess I'm one of those dumb-ass trying to keep their system most up to date. And thinking that using a new version could fix some of the problems I have with other packets. But all I do - when using gentoo is writing bug reports - and waiting for the next error message. That's no fun :-( I guess I'm to use the old glibc version and turn away from mplayer etc. So don't update ... ups .. touch a running system should be my behaviour towards gentoo then :( Whatever ... sorry for this now - but this time my frustration 's been too much to hold! I'd suggest using LVM2 or EVMS2 next time, that way you will have a really easy way to avoid problems related to incorrect disk partitioning in future. This is also a good reading if you choose to stick with traditional partitions - http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=4 then Let's just forget about that! I see no sense in arguing this. zzzzz |
