Are you trying to have portage's work directory on tmpfs? If so, I have this in fstab: tmpfs /var/tmp/portage tmpfs noatime 0 0 I don't have anything in fstab for PORTAGE_TMPDIR tho. According to this, you do need to create the directory if you are making exceptions. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage_TMPDIR_on_tmpfs#Per-Package_Choices_at_Compile_Time |root #||mkdir /var/tmp/notmpfs | |root #||chown portage:portage /var/tmp/notmpfs | |root #||chmod 775 /var/tmp/notmpfs Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) |
