How do I set the default size of /dev/shm?
I'd like to change the default size of /dev/shm in Lubuntu 11.10 (also known as /run/shm now, I guess).
It doesn't seem to appear in my fstab:
# / was on /dev/sdb5 during installation
UUID=66ac63f0-45fa-4766-9d20-7c56bcd0460d / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /home was on /dev/sdb7 during installation
UUID=227f1b29-5d04-4c28-9c9c-ea70b1726434 /home ext3 noatime 0 2
# swap was on /dev/sdb6 during installation
#UUID=9e13b7cc-1f75-4b4e-9e79-c0f7368de353 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0
Try putting a /dev/shm
line in the fstab
file to override the default settings:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid,size=100M 0 0
If that doesn't work, you can try remounting it after it's been mounted at boot, for example by putting this line into the /etc/rc.local
file
mount -o remount,size=100M /run/shm
