when running a number of applications fail with the following message
in /var/log/messages:
Mar 10 08:16:48 localhost kernel: shmget: shm filesystem not mounted
"mkdir /var/shm" and add a line like the following to /etc/fstab if
you want to run 2.3.x and have working sysv SHM:
none /var/shm shm defaults 0 0
Here is the patch for the statfs problem.
