Some common space hogs
removing distfiles
rm /usr/portage/distfiles/*
removing old kernel sources
Just a couple old kernel sources can consume multiple Gigabytes as seen below
# du -sh /usr/src/* /usr/src 0 /usr/src/linux 946M /usr/src/linux-3.4.9-gentoo 1001M /usr/src/linux-3.5.4-gentoo 1021M /usr/src/linux-3.7.4-gentoo
# du -sh 2.9G /usr/src/
DON'T blow them away with rm, use emerge
# emerge --ask --depclean gentoo-sources
Protecting sources
Use --noreplace to protect and sources which you don't want removed
example:
root # emerge --ask --noreplace gentoo-sources:3.3.8
