a tmpfs defaults to half ram size. If yours is 10M, then quite obviously |
| 29 |
you run some code somewhere that does it different :-) |

You could go through the effort of tracking down why. Unless this is a |
| 32 |

| 33 |
don't think you should spend any brain cycles on this, just add this to |
| 34 |
the mount options |
