That work around is specific to configuring Oracle database to use the /run/shm instead of the older /dev/shm. That was only part of the problem. There does not seem to be anyway to change the size of /run/shm. In the older kernels you could do this by changing the SHM_MAX value in the /etc/defaults/tmpfs file or by changing the entry in /etc/fstab. The new /run/shm seems to be created by something in the kernel and the size seems hardwired. I was not able to figure out how to increase the size of /run/shm.
