 Posted: Wed Jan 01, 2014 3:45 pm Post subject: One partition for distfiles and packages |
 |
|
When partitioning my drive during the installation of Gentoo, I came across a thread which mentioned that combining /usr/portage/distfiles and /usr/varpackages on a partition with 4K block size makes sense.
I have no idea how to apply this to my own system. I declared an partition of about 20 GB with 4K block size to be mounted to both distfiles and packages in /etc/fstab, but only one of them mounts
Somewhere I've read that you can bind-mount a partition to achieve this.
How do I work this out?

Make a partition labeled common and mounted at /common, then
etc/portage/make.conf
| Code: |
...
PORT_LOGDIR="/common/log"
PKGDIR="/common/pkgdir"
PORTDIR="/common/portdir"
DISTDIR=/common/distfiles
...
|
cat /etc/portage/repos.conf/gentoo.conf | Code: | [DEFAULT]
main-repo = gentoo
[gentoo]
location = /common/portdir
sync-type = rsync
sync-uri = rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage
priority = 5 |
I have another experimental gentoo partition, I put in make.conf:
PORT_LOGDIR="/common/log-experimental"
The rest is identical, which enables me to not double compile but to utilize "emerge --usepkg ..."
I have made a symlink /usr/portage pointing to /common/portdir, just in case
any script doesn't respect my make.conf PORTIDR

| I'd use mount bind for this sort of issue ... |

Me, too. That way, things are in their traditional expected places.
