Well, with 8Gb RAM, i recommend use tmpfs on PORTAGE_TMPDIR, just while u are compiling anything. Or even with 6Gb too. I don't worry to much about use the SSD, the only thing that i do is use distfiles, music/video/photos on HDD to safe space. And the TMPDIR thing when i'm compiling a lot of

Nice way to handle that. I only had problems with libreoffice. But i mount the tmpdir ondemand, and when libreoffice needs update i use the SSD instead. I have 16GB too, and in general use 4GB for tmpfs on TMPDIR, i think only some packages need more then that. 2012/11/26 Alex Schuster

I think u misunderstand, i belive that what Schuster have is tmpfs always mounted on /var/tmp/portage, and PORTAGE_TMPDIR will be that. When he need more than 8Gb in some package PORTAGE_TMPDIR will be /var/portage/tmp and that on HDD. What i have is /var/tmp/portage on tmpfs config in fstab with
