Yes, I use tmpfs on /vat/tmp/portage to reduce the disk i/o on my laptop. |
10 |
Here is the line I use in the /etc/fstab: |
11 |
|
12 |
none /var/tmp/portage tmpfs nr_inodes=1M,size=2G 0 0 |
13 |
|
14 |
This will allow the directory /var/tmp/portage to use at most 2GB of |
15 |
memory (I have 4GB). |

It is enough to compile most of the packages in portage. |
