Thanks for the very useful clarification. I've found that the problem is that mountvirtfs doesn't mount properly shm on boot (there is a /dev/shm node but has wrong permissions: drwxr-xr-x). If I manually stop the service mountvirtfs and then start it gain, shm is mounted properly with the right permissions (drwxrwxrwxt). Only restarting the service seems to not work. I've noted that I have the same problem with devpts: it's mounted only after stopping and starting mountvirtfs.

I understand that my request doen't have sense because the mounting of shm should be transparent to the user (but it's not transparent for me now). I've done a quick search and I've found this bug #317329 for sysv-rc. What you suggest to do? Have I to fill a bug to sysv-rc?
