How do I make the system-wide default size of tmpfs smaller (or bigger for that matter)?
I found that for one-time use I can change the size of tmpfs in this fashion: # make tmpfs in /dev/shm 40Mb mount -o remount,size=40M /dev/shm Obviously, I can also change fstab tmpfs /var/volatile tmpfs size=40M 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs size=40M,mode=0777 0 0 tmpfs /media/ram tmpfs size=40M 0 0 And, of course, most obviously I can change the source code of the kernel myself with my bare hands while walking up-hill both ways in the snow on my netbook with full-20%-size-keyboard and a 1400 baud modem on a 8088 processor in the editor I wrote myself in assembly and punch-cards. I don't recall seeing the option in make menuconfig Maybe something in /etc/sysctl.conf?
