>>> Emerging (1 of 1) games-fps/americas-army-250 to /

$ eix ^portage$
sys-apps/portage
  Installed versions: 2.2_pre5(20:42:44 28.03.2008)(-build doc
-epydoc -linguas_pl -selinux)


Package in about 700 Mb.

On local host:
$ df -h
<snip>
//fs/portage     512M 238M 275M 47% /var/lib/greenmice
<snip>

On fs:
$ df -h
<snip>
/dev/mapper/sys-distfiles
              9.9G 2.3G 7.2G 24% /usr/portage/distfiles
/dev/mapper/sys-portage
              512M 238M 275M 47% /usr/portage
<snip>

So you see, //fs/portage/ has only ~250 Mb free space, but there are a
lot of space in distfiles (and It is not emergency it distfiles would
be 100% used).
Is there any way to tell the portage "Turn it off, I know what I'm doing"?

Course I can make separate shares for distfiles and portage tree, but
I don't wanna to do it for several reasons.
