Perhaps it could not be unmounted at the time Walter tried it and this is why |
| 30 |
it failed. If a specific size is required then it can also be added into the |
| 31 |
fstab: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,size=1G 0 0 |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Then umount followed by mount /dev/shm should get the desired size. |
