Mount points are specified in /etc/fstab. I mount my /var/tmp/portage |
| 9 |
there with: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
none /var/tmp/portage tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
| 12 |
|

You can look-up the tmpfs mount options to specify the amount of RAM. |
| 14 |
Default is half the RAM in the system. |

With that being said, your system will break horribly if you mount /var |
| 17 |
as a tmpfs. /var is supposed to survive reboots. |
