In /etc/fstab I have (this is a diskless atom based PXE system): |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs size=1250M,mode=1777,noatime,auto 0 0 |
| 6 |
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs size=10m,noatime,auto 0 0 |
| 7 |
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs size=10m,noatime,auto 0 0 |
| 8 |
tmpfs /var/cache/hald tmpfs size=10m,noatime,auto 0 0 |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
and in /etc/conf.d/local.start: |
| 12 |
mkdir /tmp/portage |
| 13 |
mkdir /tmp/portage/tmp |
| 14 |
mkdir /tmp/portage/distfiles |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
and it /etc/make.conf |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
DISTDIR="/tmp/portage/distfiles" |
| 19 |
PORTAGE_TMPDIR='/tmp/portage/tmp' |
| 20 |
PORTDIR='/tmp/portage/' |
| 21 |
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" |
| 22 |
PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/default-linux/amd64/" |
| 23 |
PKGDIR="/tmp/portage/packages/" |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
It works fine except for gcc where with 3G of ram, everything in tmpfs |
| 27 |
and swap over nfs works randomly due to running out of ram. |
