Temporary files: RAM or disk?Temporary files: RAM or disk?Posted Jun 8, 2012 20:23 UTC (Fri) by jackb (subscriber, #41909)In reply to: Temporary files: RAM or disk? by Wol Parent article: Temporary files: RAM or disk?
Gentoo shoves all its compiles into /tmp.As long as I've been using it compiling has always been done in /var/tmp, not /tmp. Mounting /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs is not the default behavior but has become extremely common. For large packages like Chromium or LibreOffice there are ways to override the default PORTAGE_TMPDIR to point to a non-tmpfs directory.
