Re: [gentoo-user] SSD configuration

[Luis Gustavo Vilela de Oliveira]

I think u misunderstand, i belive that what Schuster have is tmpfs always
mounted on /var/tmp/portage, and PORTAGE_TMPDIR will be that.
When he need more than 8Gb in some package PORTAGE_TMPDIR will be
/var/portage/tmp and that on HDD.

What i have is /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs config in fstab with noauto, so
when i want to emerge a lot of things i mount that.
