Granted I don't know your setup, but having nothing installed from sys-fs/* seems a little odd to me. For example, I have the following packages installed from the sys-fs category: eix -cI\#C sys-fs sys-fs/btrfs-progs sys-fs/cryptsetup sys-fs/e2fsprogs sys-fs/fuse sys-fs/lvm2 sys-fs/ntfs3g sys-fs/udev sys-fs/udev-init-scripts sys-fs/udisks Accordingly, I have the following in /var/db/pkg/sys-fs/ ls -lhn /var/db/pkg/sys-fs total 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 534 2015-09-14 09:51 btrfs-progs-4.2 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 520 2015-09-10 11:14 cryptsetup-1.6.8 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 494 2015-09-10 12:56 e2fsprogs-1.42.13 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 494 2015-09-10 18:29 fuse-2.9.4 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 526 2015-09-10 21:41 lvm2-2.02.116 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 520 2015-09-10 11:13 ntfs3g-2015.3.14 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 538 2015-09-10 22:21 udev-225 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 464 2015-09-10 19:02 udev-init-scripts-30 drwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 512 2015-09-11 03:26 udisks-2.1.6 If you legitimately don't have anything installed from the sys-fs category, then all should be safe I guess; but if you do, then other mysteries may be afoot... - -- wraeth <wra...@wraeth.id.au> GnuPG Key: B2D9F759 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iF4EAREIAAYFAlX2YBgACgkQXcRKerLZ91lp1QD/ZTJvDfpdti6HxdmZK9ecB0pD qPFQSbc+P9iRIvwmYy8A/2bDtIy6CfAZ6ewpZg438y1lk4axUQ8U3VHjOx8CHzAq =4w2J -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
