[gentoo-user] portage: error scanning <directory>/

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2751 bytes --]

I attempted an emerge --sync and got this result:

 * error scanning '/etc'
 * error scanning '/usr/kde/3.5/env'
 * error scanning '/usr/kde/3.5/share/config'
 * error scanning '/usr/kde/3.5/shutdown'
 * error scanning '/usr/share/X11/xkb'
 * error scanning '/usr/share/config'

portage seems to be working ok if i try to emerge something though, ring any
bells?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance y'all :D

did you change the folder-permissions?

I did not, in fact, i can not recall doing anything that could cause any
problem (changing permissions, changing filesystem mounts, etc, etc).

On top of all, after a reboot, i attempted an emerge --sync and everything
went fine, the only difference is that this time i did the emerge on plain
ol' console instead of using the x session. I would like to retry the emerge
withing the graphic session, but i am afraid to be banned temporarily for
abusing portage syncs.

Thanks for the reply!

you definitely wont be banned for fixing a bug on your side.

You won't be banned for the odd extra sync. Syncing every hour is another
matter.

I used to sync my main tree twice a day.  Never banned, never any angry
emails.  (It was then served to my local network over NFS; that's how I
justified syncing twice daily, at 4 am and 4 pm).  

I since dropped down to once a day so I could see how fast my servers
are outdated, but I really don't think anybody minds if you sync a
little excessively once in a while.  Its mostly a matter of
consideration for other rsync users, I think .

That works OK, but then all the subordinate computers have to run a
sync.  If you use nfs, it's a little slower access for the subordinates
to get the ebuild info and the dist files (not much!) but their portage
trees are automatically synced up when the server syncs, and
additionally, you can share distfiles downloads between computers (the
real benefit in my mind).  

the only tricky part is that you need two mounts; a read-only for
portage tree itself, and a r/w for distfiles so that other computers
can download new software packages if they arent' already on the server.

It's true, it's a little slower for me and a few gigs more wasted space
(depending on the number of computers) for you.  A fair trade-off,
either way.

FWIW, I can do this on the server.  Or I can use a Reiser partition
with a small (1024) block size.  

just out of curiosity, would you be interested in running a benchmark
to see how my reiser partition (it would be on the server, local)
compared to your sparsefiled ext2?
