Chances are if you're running Gentoo you've never noticed how much space `/var/db/repos/gentoo` takes up. You would only care if you're running Gentoo on ARM chinky boards with low storage / write speeds. Or if you're me, running it on a chromebook with like 16Gb of storage... ## MASTER / SLAVE structure: -My trick here is to use a MASTER computer (like a server you run 24/7 or a beefy desktop) that also runs Gentoo. The MASTER compresses its copy of the Gentoo repo into a file using squashfs. The SLAVE downloads this copy into a folder and mounts it at `/var/db/repos/gentoo`. The files are still there as far as the SLAVE's portage cares, so you can proceed to install packages as normal. **Also both master and slave need the** `sys-fs/squashfs-tools` **package!!** +My trick here is to use a MASTER computer (like a server you run 24/7 or a beefy desktop) that also runs Gentoo.
