I was wondering how this comes to be, since I have /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs. I am in the middle of a KDE upgrade (4.8.0=E2=86=924.8.1) right now and bef= ore I started, I downloaded all distfiles and then looked at df /, it showed 1022 blocks, hence about 1 GB of free disk space. I am at package 115 out of 174 right now, and df shows a mere 389k blocks remaining. Also before I began the emerge run, I started 'ncdu -x /' which scans all d= irs on the / partition and then I can browse through my FS hieararchy, showing = the disk usage of every directory. Now I ran the same ncdu command again in another screen, so I can compare it with the first one. The folders themselves have 0.1 to 0.2 GB difference between their old and = new state, and ncdu's bottom bar even shows the same values for both apparent a= nd real total disk usage (rounded to 0.1 GB). So what am I missing here? I searched df's man page for something about apparent sizes/sparse files, but then again, why would portage create such files in the first place? Do you have any thoughts that might help me understand what I'm seeing? --=20 Gru=C3=9F | Greetings | Qapla' I forbid any use of my email addresses with Facebook services.
