My reading so far suggests that I include these two lines in /etc/fstab: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
| 11 |
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Is that all I have to do? I assume I don't need to specify tmpfs sizes; I |
| 14 |
have 4 GB RAM of which 0.5 GB is unavailable (owing to a motherboard |
| 15 |
problem that prompted the system builder to refund some of my money - small |
| 16 |
consolation). Probably I should put a script into /etc/conf.d/start.local |
| 17 |
to create a symlink from /var/tmp/ccache back to a real cache directory on |
| 18 |
disk, as it seems daft to install a compiler cache and then flush it at |
| 19 |
every reboot - at present mine has 1.5 GB of data. /tmp has 750 MB of stuff |
| 20 |
and is a separate disk partition at present, mounted on whichever system I |
| 21 |
boot. |

Nor I; I just have 9 meta-packages because I didn't want the education or |
| 26 |
games stuff, among others. I might have preferred to go to finer grain |
| 27 |
still, but it looked like too much work. |
