 The directory specified in your PORTAGE_TMPDIR variable, '/var/tmp/notmpfs',
 does not exist.  Please create this directory or correct your PORTAGE_TMPDIR setting.

 my fstab:
 ...

 shm    /dev/shm   tmpfs   defaults,nodev,nosuid,mode=1777 0 0
 tmpfs   /var/tmp/portage  tmpfs   defaults      0 0


 ll /var/tmp/
 total 0
 drwxrwxrwt 4 portage portage 80 Sep  4 23:04 portage

 Do I need to create dir: /var/tmp/notmpfs ?
 My other systems did not show any such message.

 
 
 Are you trying to have portage's work directory on tmpfs?  If so, I have
 this in fstab:
 
 tmpfs                   /var/tmp/portage tmpfs          noatime    0 0
 
 I don't have anything in fstab for
PORTAGE_TMPDIR tho.  According to
 this, you do need to create the directory if you are making exceptions.
 
 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Portage_TMPDIR_on_tmpfs#Per-Package_Choices_at_Compile_Time
 
 |root #||mkdir /var/tmp/notmpfs |
 |root #||chown portage:portage /var/tmp/notmpfs |
 |root #||chmod 775 /var/tmp/notmpfs
 
 Hope that helps.

I had this configuration already set:
/etc/portage/env/notmpfs.conf
PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp/notmpfs"

/etc/portage/package.env
mail-client/thunderbird notmpfs.conf
www-client/firefox notmpfs.conf

What was missing was only directory:
/var/tmp/notmpfs

I'll remove "tmpfs" from fstab


Thelma.


I see what you're trying to do, have large packages built without using tmpfs, but you need to point PORTAGE_TMPDIR to an existing directory on your hard disk.
