It does the same for portages work space too. I have portages work |
| 40 |
directory on tmpfs and I always have to mount with the size=12g option |
| 41 |
so that LOo will even start. |

Thing is, it rarely uses more than 4Gbs or so. Is there a way to |
| 44 |
disable this mess? I got the space for my compile. I really don't need |
| 45 |
the checks. Another reason for the question, the OP could add a ungodly |
| 46 |
amount of swap and just listen the hard drive heads sing. |
