I have a minimal thinkpad 380XD that has functioned
flawless through several emerge worlds now. It runs a
stripped down desktop with blackbox and I use it for
lowend media streaming and music.
It is about a 4gig drive with 64meg ram and 233mhz...
After most recent world update I noted the compiler
came to 3.3.5 and I also had some dificulty playing
streams in XMMS and the system would no longer complete
sync but gets RSYNC timeouts continually in io.c.
It goes through part of the sync receiving files etc.
I'm starting to think perhaps the small amount of
memory may have exposed an issue?
I have tried emerges that use the 'e' option and these
seem to fail in random places which made me think
compiler may have issue with space?

Any thoughts on how to cattleprod this system back
to normalcy?
Thanks for any help.
-Walt

Try setting RSYNC_TIMEOUT as mentioned in
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t...ght-rsync.html

Use "mirrorselect -i -r" to set a different rsync server in /etc/make.conf

I had this timeout set higher when someone suggested it earlier
and it does not seem to help.
I just changed the mirror as suggested and get the same failure.

A possibility is that the Internet *route* between you and the rsync
server has a problem:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...5f3021be7a8f8d

Try running e.g. "tracepath ftp.mirrorservice.org" to check for
problems, and try several Gentoo rsync mirrors.

Wow on reading this it prompted me to check the
fstab when I saw corrption mentioned. I replaced
the fstab during the emerge but not carefully
enough. The file template uses XFS and I have an EXT2
filesystem.
I wonder how much damage I have caused and where
to go from here.

I wouldn't expect the partition to mount, so it should be unchanged
unless you have tried to "repair" it. Run "cat /etc/mtab" to see what
is currently mounted.
