1 I never used tmpfs for portage TMPDIR before and now decided to give it a try.
2
3 I have 8GB of RAM and 12GB of swap on a separate partition.
4
5 Do I correctly understood https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage_TMPDIR_on_tmpfs
6 that I can safely set in the fstab the size of my tmpfs to 12GB so
7 that the chromium
8 could be emerged in tmpfs (using the swap) without the need to set notmpfs.conf
9 for chromium and the likes.
10
11 And I am going to set the whole /var/tmp/ on tpmfs instead of just
12 /var/tmp/portage
13 Is it ok?
