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.
