Everything? Won't that copy over the extraneous inodes?

Is 3x enough? I haven't even gotten off the ground yet, 28 lines in
/var/db/pkg/world and my alotted inodes have been already used up? No
gnome, kde, gimp, office etc etc.

FWIW, I thought I'd chroot in and do an emerge -C mozilla-firefox but
it hadn't even been installed yet! It choked on dev-java/jdk. So, did
emerge mozilla-firefox. Same thing:

IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device:
'/var/db/pkg/dev-java/-MERGING-sun-jdk-1.6.0.13/CFLAGS'
