My SD card is not part of the volume group. The Eee PC 900 has two SSDs
internally, one at 4GB and one at 16GB (for the Linux version). The root
partiton only contains what needs to be there: /boot, /etc, /bin, /lib
and /sbin. Everything else (/usr, /var, /home, /opt) is on the VG.
$PORTAGE_TMPDIR and $DISTDIR and on a network mount.
