Re: [gentoo-user] ebuild failure in unpack

That's an option.  It means I'd have to dedicate an entire volume to
that, but it's doable.

But if the unpack phase insists on doing a "mkdir /var/tmp/portage",
would that work with a mounted drive?

In fact, it's hard for me to image that the unpack phase would fail on
that, it's just a first guess.  I just want to understand what's going
on and be sure I'm not making some mistake that'll bite me later.
