Long story short: edit /usr/lib/systemd/system/tmp.mount.d/30_qubes.conf, and set size=$manyG Long story: systemd performs mounts with .mount unit files; by default, if no "Options=" setting is specified, the parameters are read from /etc/fstab like an old school distro. But, if "Options=" is specified, those options are merged with the ones in /etc/fstab. In the case of Qubes, these options are further customized in the $name.mount.d/ directory; since those options do specify the tmpfs size, this setting overrides the one set in /etc/fstab. -- Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
