I'm having a problem with /dev/shm. I am trying to run a backup program called, Mondoarchive. It mounts /dev/shm on a directory such as /tmp.mondo.xxxx (as an example). Unfortunately, only about 112mb are being allocated for this. This is about 50% of my ram. Following some instructions I found on the SuSE support database, I commented out some lines in /etc/init.d/boot.swap and inserted the following line in my fstab: tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs size=1g 0 0 When I rebooted, this created tmpfs at a size of 1GB. However, when Mondo mounts /dev/shm, it still mounts at a size of about 112MB. At the moment, I have not been able to get a solution on the Mondo mailing list. I'm hoping that someone here can help.
