+1 

I tried using the tmpfs for WORKDIR on my T420 which has 8GB of RAM. (In
India, maximum single slot DDR3 RAM we can get is 4GB.) Obviously, this
is not sufficient :( Maybe I shouldn't use the laptop for build
purposes.

Moreover, every time I build the image in yocto, temperature peeks to 87
degree Celsius. Hoping that my HDD should not die.
