11 What about setups where portage tree is mounted via NFS to reduce traffic and

14 FHS states[1] that /var/cache is *locally* generated. Which aould not be the

23 "/var/cache is intended for cached data from applications. Such data is
24 locally generated as a result of time-consuming I/O or calculation."
