I was thinking along the same lines and came across this somewhere in |
| 23 |
the email list/forums/blogs: |

# RAM disk for emerges |
| 27 |

tmpfs /var/tmp/portage tmpfs |
| 29 |
uid=portage,gid=portage,mode=0775,size=8192M,noatime 0 0 |

The above is all ONE line. This has worked fine for me. I have a machine |
| 33 |
with 16GB so I decided to go half/half on the RAM disk hence the 8GB |
| 34 |
size and tune if need be. I've seen no problems hence have left it at that. |

No idea :) Would some sort of cp/rsync running under a short interval |
| 39 |
cron job do what you want. As I said, I really have no idea here. |
