Karthik,

The reason it was limited to 16MB in early days is because we had platforms 
with only 32MB of RAM and letting tmpfs fill up uncontrollable was dangerous 
and was making the system very unstable.

One of the options is to have per-machine RAM/tmpfs setting, which can get 
propagated to /etc/fstab accordingly - e.g. 32/64 for am335x/am437 and 64/128 
for dra7xx, etc.

Subject: [meta-arago] [RFC PATCH] base-files: Increase /var/volatile size

* Weston applications allocate memory from tmpfs, need to
  increase the tmpfs area to atleast 50M. Can this be
  increased more - what are the pros/cons?
