Public bug reported: 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. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917464 Title: 11.10 no longer has /etc/default/tmpfs file to set SHM_MAX To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/917464/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
