Hi all, I have one suggestion that could be useful for you and a better |
| 2 |
approach: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I think it could be added to this part of the wiki: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage_TMPDIR_on_tmpfs |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
an controlled autofs tmpfs mounted on /var/tmp/portage: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Relevant files: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
(based on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AutoFS) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
from my /etc/autofs/auto.master entry: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
/- /etc/autofs/autofs.vartmp |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
and from my /etc/autofs/autofs.vartmp: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
/var/tmp/portage -fstype=tmpfs,size=14G tmpfs --timeout 300 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
with those lines in the mount command output you could see: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
/etc/autofs/autofs.vartmp on /var/tmp/portage type autofs |
| 34 |
(rw,relatime,fd=6,pgrp=31264,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,direct) |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
and after accesing the directory: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
tmpfs on /var/tmp/portage type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=14680064k) |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
At this way you could get a portage dir mounted just only when you need |
| 42 |
it (emerging packages) and the RAM freed after use with the timeout. |
