29 Are you trying to have portage's work directory on tmpfs? If so, I have
30 this in fstab:
31
32 tmpfs /var/tmp/portage tmpfs noatime 0 0
33
34 I don't have anything in fstab for PORTAGE_TMPDIR tho. According to
35 this, you do need to create the directory if you are making exceptions.

38
39 |root #||mkdir /var/tmp/notmpfs |
40 |root #||chown portage:portage /var/tmp/notmpfs |
41 |root #||chmod 775 /var/tmp/notmpfs

43 Hope that helps.
