Mine is doing the same thing. tmpfs 7.9G 260K 7.9G 1% /run But I also have this: tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /var/tmp/portage So, between those two, I could run out of ram since I have 16Gbs. There is now TWO people that needs a answer to this question. Why does it need that much anyway? It looks to me like a few hundred Mbs, like Jarry posted, would be plenty.
