[gentoo-user] profiling:/var/tmp/portage/xfce-base ... Cannot create directory

[gentoo-user] profiling:/var/tmp/portage/xfce-base ... Cannot create directory

[v_2e]

  Hello!
  I noticed some strange messages in my ~/.xsession-errors log-file
today. They look like this:

profiling:/var/tmp/portage/xfce-base:Cannot create directory
profiling:/var/tmp/portage/xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.6.1-r1/work/xfce4-session-4.6.1/xfce4-session/xfce4_session-ice-layer.gcda:Skip
profiling:/var/tmp/portage/xfce-base:Cannot create directory
profiling:/var/tmp/portage/xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.6.1-r1/work/xfce4-session-4.6.1/xfce4-session/xfce4_session-main.gcda:Skip
. . .
and so on.

  I haven't seen such messages before, that is why decided to ask here
about what they mean. It is also strange that they mention the
'/var/tmp/portage/' directory. Maybe something is wrong with
installation system?

  Thanks.
    Vladimir

No, I don't think so. I've built things as large as Libreoffice on ext4
before. I can't imagine many situations where you could ever possibly
run out of inodes.

Or out of inodes. I've painstakingly learnt to host the portage build
directory on reiserfs instead of ext3/4.

You forgot to disable pgo when you compile some xfce-session .

  I have enough free space on my '/' partition (although I'm not sure
about free inodes). But in any case, why should Xfce create something
in '/var/tmp/portage' at all? That's probably the main question.

  Thanks.

  What is 'pgo'?

profile guided optimize

If you enable it , software will generate profile data when it runs.
of-course the profile data will be output to the *same* dir it got
compiled. That's why it write to /var/tmp

But you are not running xfce-session as root, are you? so xfce-session
won't be able to create profile data.

Thanks, I just used this question to finally look up the man page of the
euses command, which I thought would give the description of use flags. It
turns out that it's simply 'euses pgo', which is much less to type than
my usual 'grep :pgo /var/portage/tree/profiles/use.*'. Anyway, it returns
that only firefox and torbrowser make use of this optimization for
gcc-4.5.

About the free inodes question, use df -i for that.

  No, I don't run it as root, of course. 
But I didn't enable the 'pgo'. Or didI? How can I figure it out?
  Thanks!

  Thanks for the tip! I didn't know that.

equery hasuse pgo

then

emerge -pv package-name

Also, if your profile (or make.conf) turns it on then

emerge --info

might be worth looking at closely.

This will help:
emerge --info $PACKAGE_NAME

look for the USE variable it emits.
