Nope. You just define swap and tmpfs in your fstab. Here are my entries: |

|
9 |
$ grep swap /etc/fstab |
10 |
/dev/sda3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0 |
11 |
/dev/sdb3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0 |
12 |
/dev/sda7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0 |
13 |
/dev/sdb7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0 |
14 |
$ grep tmpfs /etc/fstab |
15 |
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs noatime,nodev,nosuid,size=8G 0 0 |
16 |
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0 |
17 |
|

I haven't changed anything there since upgrading from 4 to 16GB RAM a few |
19 |
months ago. Notice that the tmpfs was then bigger than the installed RAM. It |
20 |
worked just fine. |
