Only in a way that it is tmpfs as well. /tmp is rarely used and then mostly for stuff like different IPC pointers like unix sockets, which lay no burden on any disk. I've seen some suggestions of mounting /var/tmp/portage as tmpfs hovewer, but the logic of it escapes me: you loose persistency for nothing - any free memory will be used for FS cache anyway, so if emerge is working on these files they'll be 99.9% in-memory anyway. I only found it useful for RAM-challenged machines which can't spare any megabytes for FS cache so I'm mostly curious about it's application in home-like environment, as well. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net
