Talk:Portage TMPDIR on tmpfs

Something about TMPDIR that I wanted to know when reading this page.
Note that the value of Portage's TMPDIR used here is the default value /var/tmp and can be verified by executing emerge --info|grep ^PORTAGE_TMPDIR. Portage does it's magic in a subdir called portage, hence why /var/tmp/portage is used above. --EmanueLczirai (talk) 17:55, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

tmpfs within tmpfs
Worth noting that if /var/tmp/ is already tmpfs and you still want to mount /var/tmp/portage as tmpfs from /etc/fstab then the option x-mount.mkdir will help(without it /vat/tmp/portage/ folder won't exist and mount will fail). It may look something like this for example(in my case): --EmanueLczirai (talk) 05:48, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Page move
Unless there are objections I believe it would be good to move this article to be a sub-article of Portage. This article is directly connected to Portage and (to me) it does not make too much sense to leave it dis-conjoined from the Portage article. The new location would either be Portage/TMPDIR or Portage/TMPDIR on tmpfs. We can either choose to call it the variable game, for simply use the suffix of the currently existing name and move it under Portage. Let me know if there are any objects and the reasoning behind them. I'll clean up any links that would link to the old location. --Maffblaster (talk) 15:58, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
