#2180: file system for /dev/shm differs from Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: gsf | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Keywords: --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- In "8.2. Creating the /etc/fstab File", the user is instructed to create the following line in fstab: {{{ shm /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 }}} The Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt file that came with my kernel sources (2.6.22.19) suggests the following: {{{ tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 }}} Note that the "file system" is tmpfs, not shm. I believe it's just convention, creating no technical problems, but the LFS book is the only place I've seen "shm" used for the file system.
