| 7 | no. |

| 9 | /var/lib |
| 10 | and |
| 11 | /var/db |
| 12 | |
| 13 | contains essential data. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | /var/log |
| 16 | |
| 17 | also contains data that should survive a reboot. |

| 19 | You can put |
| 20 | /var/tmp |
| 21 | on tmpfs, but 'the spec' says, that stuff in /var/tmp should survive a reboot. |
| 22 | |

| 24 | /var/tmp/portage |
| 25 | |
| 26 | that is save. |
