If You see a FSTAB: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
there is probably some thing like dev link to shared memory - I think, |
| 30 |
that SHM is needed by some proceses, if You put something in SHM, then |
| 31 |
after process starting, that opens SHM from IPC, it's allocated in space |
| 32 |
of tmpfs, and tmpfs is dropping into swapfile. If I don't get wrong, |
| 33 |
then You should stop using tmpfs... |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|# mount -o remount,size=8G /dev/shm |
| 36 |
||# mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G,nr_inodes=5k,mode=700 tmpfs /disk2/tmpfs |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
"|shm / shmfs is also known as tmpfs, which is a common name for a |
| 39 |
temporary file storage facility on many Unix-like operating systems. It |
| 40 |
is intended to appear as a mounted file system, but one which uses |
| 41 |
virtual memory instead of a persistent storage device. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
If you type mount command you will see /dev/shm as a tempfs file system. |
| 44 |
Therefore, it is a file system, which keeps all files in virtual memory. |
| 45 |
Everything in tmpfs is temporary in the sense that no files will be |
| 46 |
created on your hard drive. If you unmount a tmpfs instance, everything |
| 47 |
stored therein is lost. By default almost all Linux distros configured |
| 48 |
to use /dev/shm." |

This is what i found about resizing SHM (tmpfs) |
