Nope. You just define swap and tmpfs in your fstab. Here are my entries: $ grep swap /etc/fstab /dev/sda3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0 /dev/sdb3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0 /dev/sda7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0 /dev/sdb7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0 $ grep tmpfs /etc/fstab tmpfs /tmp tmpfs noatime,nodev,nosuid,size=8G 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0 I haven't changed anything there since upgrading from 4 to 16GB RAM a few months ago. Notice that the tmpfs was then bigger than the installed RAM. It worked just fine. -- Rgds Peter Linux Counter number 5290
