Years ago, I used tmpfs, and it was slightly faster, but on average only |
11 |
few seconds in an hou-long emerge. |

I don't use tmpfs any more, as 8G of RAM is barely enough to run KDe here. |

Well, if you were using LVM, this would take less than a minute: |

|
21 |
lvresize -L +2G /dev/myVolumeGroup/myVarVolume |
22 |
resize2fs /dev/myVolumeGroup/myVarVolume |

Sure, either by changing some config file, or crating a symlink to the |
30 |
new location. |

I have a partition for portage stuff (trees, distfiles, packages, |
33 |
tmpdir), as I don't like my /var to become full just because I emerge |
34 |
something large. |
