These included tmpfs 815696 1352 814334 /run none 4078460 0 4078460 /run/shm none 102400 8 102392 /run/usr Inside /run/usr I did find a directory for my user id and could use that as the user. However I don't know what the /run/shm is for, so need to do some finding out... I did set up an explict ramdisc on another machine ages ago by adding a line to the /etc/fstab file. But that fixed the size to 256 MB, which in this context is tiny. System monitor says I have 8GB of ram.
