Is is possible to specify the size of the /dev fs in /etc/fstab?
It may be possible by adding size=, but making it larger than the default (half the RAM size) just papers over some utterly broken applications, which should be fixed instead.
Yes, half of RAM size (2G was wrong / my machine only :). Well, but when you've 8G RAM and run only e.g. a database it may be required to set it to e.g. 6G. IMO we have at least two choices: a) change the init / network scripts to not to use it b) make it adjustable (/etc/init.d/boot mounts /dev using "mount -n -t tmpfs -o mode=0755 udev /dev" -- I'm going to test if the size is used when I add /dev with a different size to /etc/fstab)... In case of a) -- which path we can use instead - /dev/.tmp? /var may be mounted on a separate disk so it can't be used too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
