Thank you for the reply. |

I do not use ccache, and in my /var/tmp I only have /var/tmp/portage |
| 28 |
and /var/tmp/genkernel (I use genkernel to generate initramfs image). |

|
| 30 |
I never use emerge and genkernel at the same time. So, why not to put |
| 31 |
the whole /var/tmp into one tmpfs? |
