Hi Gentoo-users, I would like to use tmpfs for all the package-compilation to spare my SSD from too many writing-cycles, but I can not guess how much do I need. I'm rather limited with RAM, if I use more than 512MB for /var/tmp/portage, my server lowers buffers/cache to nearly zero and starts swapping...
So what do your think? Would it be enought to have 512MB for packages like GCC, Apache, MySQL, Sendmail, Bind? These are the biggest, rest are much smaller...
