The default size for a tmpfs filesystem is half the physical RAM, unless you specify more as a mount option, it will never use significant amounts of swap. I wonder how effective tmpfs is for PORTAGE_TMPDIR as the builds that need a lot of disk space can often require a fair bit of memory too, and tmpfs is using it all. -- Neil Bothwick Nobody's perfect and since I'm nobody...!
