You should do neither as they do not give you split storage, they |
| 15 |
both give you the same thing in two different places. |

Create two new filesystems and mount them. |

I personally use /var/portage as there is no good reason for it to be |
| 20 |
under /usr where it is just clutter. |

|

Code goes in /usr |
| 23 |
Data goes in /var |
| 24 |

You have to change PORTDIR in /etc/make.conf for this to work as well |
| 26 |
as /etc/make.profile. Nothing breaks without it, you just get errors |
| 27 |
from portage |
