I found this bug while looking for a way to resize /run/shm on Ubuntu 13.04. Still I can't find a way to resize it (on my laptop for some reason it is 600MB - out of 6GB total memory - I need it bigger to install Oracle or DB2).
Net is full of advice to mount --rebind this to change it's size, rather ugly concept considering /run is usually not empty at the moment I can remount it (and this option usually breaks some running apps) So …… could anybody tell where is /run size configured? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917464 Title: 11.10 no longer has /etc/default/tmpfs file to set SHM_MAX Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have 16 gb of memory and cannot figure out how to modify the new /run/shm mounted directory. The default for this directory is 50% of available memory and I need to increase the size to support multiple databases in memory. There used to be a /etc/default/tmpfs file that allowed to configure a different size. Please let me know if there is a way to store the desired size for /run/shm. As a side note, there is a symbolic link created /dev/shm used for compatibility. Unfortunately some applications require thsi to be mounted directory using bind option. I have changed the /etc/init/mounted-dev.conf to use "mount --bind /run/shm /dev/shm" instead of the symbolic link and older programs are much happier. This includes using Oracle database. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
