Hello list,
While building a new KDE system (see my post a few minutes ago), I'm finding
the system stalling because it can't handle all its install jobs. I have this
set:
$ grep '\-j' /etc/portage/make.conf
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs --load-average=30 [...]"
I don't know how much it would matter, but are you missing a number
after --jobs?
MAKEOPTS="-j16 -l16"
The CPU has 24 threads and 64GB RAM, and lots of swap space, and those values
have worked well for some time. Now, though, I'm going to have to limit the
--jobs or the --load-average.
On interrupting one such hang, I found that 32 install jobs had been waiting
to run; is this limit hard coded? I also saw "too many jobs" or something, and
"could not read job counter".
Is it now bug-report time?
