Hello,
I'm a spanish student of Telecommunications, from Valladolid. I'm Debian
user during last 2 years.
I use unstable distribution, and two days ago, I updated my sustem by
means of 'apt-get dist-upgrade'. All was fine, but ifupdown postinst
script failed, complaining about 'no space left on device' when doing 'mv'
command for file /etc/network/ifstate to /dev/shm/network/ifstate.
After some investigation, I found that tmpfs filesystem was 0 bytes long.
My /etc/default/tmps file looks like:
TMPFS_SIZE=10
so 10 megabytes for tmpfs, but kernel gives it 0 bytes.
After comment out this variable, remount tmpfs on /dev/shm and making
apt-get dist-upgrade to configure ifupdown, all was fine.
This could be a possible patch for ifupdown.postinst
67a68,79
  # Check for available space if we are using devshm
  #
  if [ "$WHAT_TO_USE" = devshm ]
  then
    SPACE=`df -k /dev/shm | tail -1 | awk '{if ( $4 ~ /%/) { print $3 } 
else { print $4 } }'`
    if [ "$SPACE" -le 0 ]
    then
      WHAT_TO_USE=owndir
    fi
  fi
Cheers,
