Re: [gentoo-user] SSD configuration

[Luis Gustavo Vilela de Oliveira]

Nice way to handle that. I only had problems with libreoffice.
But i mount the tmpdir ondemand, and when libreoffice needs update i use
the SSD instead.

I have 16GB too, and in general use 4GB for tmpfs on TMPDIR, i think only
some packages need more then that.
