Hi, due to space considerations on my laptop I have moved portage onto a network share (moosfs, mfsmounted) - slower but works fine. However, being a laptop trying to update/install when out and about is both very slow and network intensive through a vpn - again, it works but is even slower to the point of not always being practical
Is there a way to localise/speedup portage scanning parts of the update/install process? 1. put it on a squashfs share to save space (the laptop is running btrfs with compression so I don't think that will get me much) 2. put portage on an sd card and mount it when necessary The laptop is a Surface Pro4 so expanding the storage is not practical - though I could shrink the windows partition a little more.
