Only in a way that it is tmpfs as well. |

/tmp is rarely used and then mostly for stuff like different IPC |
14 |
pointers like unix sockets, which lay no burden on any disk. |

I've seen some suggestions of mounting /var/tmp/portage as tmpfs |

hovewer, but the logic of it escapes me: you loose persistency for |
18 |
nothing - any free memory will be used for FS cache anyway, so if |
19 |
emerge is working on these files they'll be 99.9% in-memory anyway. |

I only found it useful for RAM-challenged machines which can't spare |
22 |
any megabytes for FS cache so I'm mostly curious about it's application |
23 |
in home-like environment, as well. |
