As I said, ungodly amounts. ;) I expect tmpfs for $WORKDIR or $TMPDIR is incredibly useful to remove I/O limits from CPU-heavy systems. I've only a i7 but I expect you've got quite a bit more CPU available for builds. > 4) using tmpfs has 2 more advantages > - disks don't wear off so fast Definitely. I had a paragraph along these lines in my drafts but deleted it. Even with just WORKDIR in tmpfs I was seeing massively reduced disk use as it was only used to read the source tarball from downloads, reading the sysroot (likely entirely cached), and writing the results to sysroot/sstate/deploy.
