So, why I'm getting this message?


Your /var/tmp/portage is 10 MB! Increase that.

How do I increase it?
I deleted all the file in /var/tmp/portage but after reboot the system populate 
it again.
In fstab I have two entries:
...
shm                     /dev/shm        devtmpfs        nodev,nosuid,noexec     
0 0
tmpfs           /var/tmp/portage        devtmpfs        defaults  0 0

should I just comment them out?
