Speaking of tmpfs, I should have re-emerged OOo on tmpfs. It filled up

that http-replicator on here when I decided to keep my old rig up to
date and it just eats up my /var. I guess I could move http* directory
tho. ^_^
Filling up /var is bad, putting PORTAGE_TMPDIR somewhere less critical is
a good idea. Its own filesystem is best but as you don't use LVM, how
about a directory on that 750GB second drive you have.
Then if you get kernel panics during emerges, you'll know the drive is at
fault :)
Now that's a thought. Here is the funny thing. I can copy from the
drive just fine. It just doesn't like me writing anything to it. I
just can't figure out why it would cause a kernel panic. It's not like
the OS is on it or anything.
I did take the sides off my rig last night. I reseated all the cables.
I'm going to do some testing here in a bit. I been upgrading to KDE
4.7. Yeppie !!
