I get round this in another way % cat /etc/portage/package.env/libreoffice app-office/libreoffice ccache.conf disk-tmpdir.conf % cat /etc/portage/env/disk-tmpdir.conf PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/mnt/scratch" There, the larger packages use spinning rust for $TMPDIR. This not only means I can merge more than one of them at once, it also means I can use my computer for other things while it's happening. -- Neil Bothwick Bury a lawyer 12 feet under, because deep down they're nice.
