Well I'm not sure exactly what was going wrong, but I have fixed this by adding the /dev/shm to my fstab and building its filesystem after mountlocal in rcS.d. After boot is finished I'm left with multiple bind mounts of my root filesystem which I don't quite understand, but it all appears to work now: [EMAIL PROTECTED] andy]$ mount rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) /dev/root on / type ext2 (ro,noatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nodiratime) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) /dev/root on /dev/.static/dev type ext2 (ro,noatime) tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw) pts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) [EMAIL PROTECTED] andy]$ sudo df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 456M 219M 213M 51% / /dev/root 456M 219M 213M 51% / /dev/root 456M 219M 213M 51% /dev/.static/dev tmpfs 10M 420K 9.6M 5% /dev tmpfs 10M 64K 10M 1% /dev/shm
