I cant 'df' from within the chroot but the livecd gives this . and /mnt/gentoo is not full

| Reformat the partition, either with a smaller inode size, or a filesystem which avoids the problem entirely. If possible, make a full backup first. |

its ext2 because its a flash disk and I think ive read somewhere that its better to not use a journalled file system.
so what should I use , or how do i specify a smaller inode size ?

You don't actually want a smaller inode size - you want a filesystem formatted
with more inodes. A quick answer is to use "mkfs -t ext2 -T news /dev/whatever"
which doubles the number of inodes and ought to work; a better answer is to
read the mkfs manpage and work out how to set the number of inodes you need.

Also use "mkfs.ext2 -b 1024 " to give the most space. mkfs.ext2 defaults to 2048 or 4096 which will cut the actual storage in half. I just make a ext2 with a block size of 512 and the portage tree went from 570M to 285M.
Edit changed 512 to 1024

from the man page

Specify the size of blocks in bytes. Valid block size vales are 1024, 2048 and 4096 bytes per block. If omitted, mke2fs block-size is heuristically determined by the file system size and the expected usage of the filesystem (see the -T option). |

Can grub handle varying block sizes on an ext2 file system? I can recall some
size-change in the filesystem which upset grub, but I can't remember what.

When you format your disk you have a choice of 1024 2048 or 4096. Any one of the 3 is fine for grub. thecooptoo has only a 4gig drive, so he needs the most efficent for size.
As to grub it has no problem on a 1024 block size. You might be thinking of the boundries that your partition begin and end on, which can affect SSD performance and possibly grub booting. The OCZ forums are suppose to have the most info on this.
