I'm getting an error message during emerge:

and it should be:
drwxrwxrwt  2 root root           100 Sep 29 09:25 shm

I've already change in fstab:
from:
shm                     /dev/shm        devtmpfs        nodev,nosuid,noexec
0 0

to:
shm                     /dev/shm        tmpfs
defaults,nodev,nosuid,mode=1777 0 0

Is it OK to run:
umount shm
mount shm

This is a remount system, so I want to make sure I'm not making a mistake.


Yes, that should be fairly safe to run. The only risk is if you have
some application running which has files open on it; but umount should
give you an error in that case.

Also, you can/should remove that fstab entry entirely once you have
remounted it; both openrc and systemd will automatically mount
/dev/shm with proper permissions if it is missing from fstab.

Will it?
In my kernel confg I have:

grep CONFIG_DEVTMPFS /usr/src/linux/.config CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y
# CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT is not set

should I set "CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y"
