 |
|
Recently I have repartitioned my hard drive into this:
| Code: | / 2GB reiserfs
swap 700MB swap
/boot 100MB ext3
/home 3GB reiserfs
/mnt/ext 8GB ext3
/mnt/reiser 6GB reiserfs
/mnt/data ext3 the rest of av. space
symlinks:
/bin -> /mnt/ext/bin
/sbin -> /mnt/ext/sbin
/lib# -> /mnt/ext/lib#
/opt -> /mnt/ext/opt
/usr -> /mnt/ext/usr
/usr/portage/distfiles -> /mnt/ext/distfiles
/usr/portage/packages-> /mnt/ext/packages
/usr/portage -> /mnt/reiser/portage
/usr/src -> /mnt/reiser/src
/var/tmp/portage -> /mnt/reiser/tmp
/www -> /mnt/reiser/www |
and when tried to install Gentoo 2006.0 from minimal CD everything gone wrong.
First, emerge wasn't able to create some (but not all) files and/or directories in /var/tmp/portage (I've chmoded /mnt/reiser/tmp 1777), but changing DIRs in /etc/make.conf from symlinks to actual directories fixed it.
Now sources are compiling but I've got 'access violation' with something like this:
| Quote: | | mkdir: /usr/lib/cf34235 (symlink to /mnt/ext/usr/lib/cf34235) |
Seems like it can't write to /usr/lib and I wonder why?
PS. Sorry for my English

Mount them at the correct location - I mean simply mount the partiotions as /usr or /usr/lib and so on, as you do with /home.
IMHO symlinking these directories is a very bad idea .
for example:
| Quote: | /dev/hda9 on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/hda5 on /usr/portage type ext2 (rw,noatime)
/dev/hda6 on /usr/portage/distfiles type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/hda7 on /var/tmp type ext3 (rw,noatime)

Yeah, I wanted not to create so many partitions. How about hard links?

It is a bad thing, as I said, because for example there are some libs in /usr/lib, which symlink to ../../lib and so on.
There was thread somewhere about such problems, you could try and search the forums. So to be on the safe site - the best solution is to have most of the dirs in their standard location or to mount them there

Crap. Well, since I don't really have a choice, I'll follow your advice. Tnx
