I'm running mdev, so that may be related. Here's my story... a script |
| 2 |
I run to automatically process digital photos started blowing up on me. |
| 3 |
After much bashing of head against brick wall, I determined that |
| 4 |
/dev/shm now has an absolute max size of 10 megabytes! Any larger files |
| 5 |
could not be written to it. Here's all the uncommented stuff in /etc/fstab |
| 6 |
|

|
| 8 |
/dev/sda5 / ext2 noatime,nodiratime,async 0 1 |
| 9 |
/dev/sda7 /home reiserfs noatime,nodiratime,async,notail 0 1 |
| 10 |
/home/bindmounts/opt /opt auto bind 0 0 |
| 11 |
/home/bindmounts/var /var auto bind 0 0 |
| 12 |
/home/bindmounts/usr /usr auto bind 0 0 |
| 13 |
/home/bindmounts/tmp /tmp auto bind 0 0 |
| 14 |
/dev/sda6 none swap sw 0 0 |
| 15 |
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0 |
| 16 |
/dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd auto noauto,users,ro 0 0 |
| 17 |
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 |
| 18 |
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw,noatime,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 |
| 19 |

Meanwhile, my netbook, with the /dev/shm line commented out, runs just |
| 21 |
fine and handles large files in /dev/shm. I followed the example at |
| 22 |
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Complete_Handbook/Configuring_the_system |
| 23 |
with slightly more paranoid settings, e.g. noexec. What gives? |
