RAMRUN and RAMLOCK are Debian options. The code that handles them in Debian sysvinit is replaced by mountall(8), and the references to them in the rcS manpage are removed as at 10.04. Further, in Debian RAMRUN and RAMLOCK are undefined by default, and setting them to "yes" is what causes the sysvinit boot process to mount them. #ubuntu-server agreed with that analysis, but I haven't personally tried setting RAMRUN=no to confirm it (have to scounge a non-production lucid box...). I *do* know that adding/removing the entry from /lib/init/fstab, which is a mountallism, resulted in my containers having/not having a tmpfs mount on /var/run. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
