I have 16 GB, with 8GB for $PORTAGE_TMPDIR on tmpfs. There were issues with some packages having not enough space, so I have this in /etc/portage/package.env: app-office/libreoffice notmpfs.conf dev-java/icedtea notmpfs.conf games-fps/alienarena notmpfs.conf games-fps/worldofpadman notmpfs.conf games-sports/vdrift notmpfs.conf mail-client/thunderbird notmpfs.conf www-client/firefox notmpfs.conf /etc/portage/env.d/notmpfs.conf has this entry, changing PORTAGE_TMPDIR to real HDD space: PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/var/portage/tmp Most of these packages compile with 8 GB of space, but not with parallel merges, like when Thunderbird and Firefox are both being built at the same time.
