That's a silly idea. The reason portage checks such things is to avoid
running a command that is guaranteed to fail, and you are trying to
bypass that.


What is the package you are trying to fetch, how big is it, how much
disk space do you have free (full df -h please) and what is the full
output to the console?

Either /dev/yyy has less free space than you think or portage is trying
to save to /usr/portage. Instead of trying to kludge
/usr/portage/distfiles to somewhere else, set $DISTDIR in make.conf.

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) games-fps/americas-army-250 to /

$ eix ^portage$
sys-apps/portage
Installed versions: 2.2_pre5(20:42:44 28.03.2008)(-build doc
-epydoc -linguas_pl -selinux)


Package in about 700 Mb.

On local host:
$ df -h
<snip>
//fs/portage 512M 238M 275M 47% /var/lib/greenmice
<snip>

On fs:
$ df -h
<snip>
/dev/mapper/sys-distfiles
9.9G 2.3G 7.2G 24% /usr/portage/distfiles
/dev/mapper/sys-portage
512M 238M 275M 47% /usr/portage
<snip>

So you see, //fs/portage/ has only ~250 Mb free space, but there are a
lot of space in distfiles (and It is not emergency it distfiles would
be 100% used).
Is there any way to tell the portage "Turn it off, I know what I'm doing"?

Course I can make separate shares for distfiles and portage tree, but
I don't wanna to do it for several reasons.

Sorry, this chunk of temporary solution.

Run emerge -fp packagename, download the file(s) manually and put them in
$DISTDIR.

There are good reasons for separating $PORTDIR and $DISTDIR.

You might be better using NFS, instead.
