It came to my attention that during (after) an emerge run, df reports
considerably less space available on my / than before the emerge (everything
except /home sits on the root partition). I was wondering how this comes to
be, since I have /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs.
I am in the middle of a KDE upgrade (4.8.0→4.8.1) right now and before I
started, I downloaded all distfiles and then looked at df /, it showed 1022
blocks, hence about 1 GB of free disk space. I am at package 115 out of 174
right now, and df shows a mere 389k blocks remaining.
That's because the old files are not being deleted since they are in
use. When you logout of KDE and restart the whole stack
(/etc/init.d/xdm restart) then everything will be back to normal.
Or simply reboot.
