[gentoo-user] /dev/shm and firefox question
Hello all, I recently installed qemu; when I launch it I get this message: You do not have enough space in '/dev/shm' for the 450 MB of QEMU virtual RAM. To have more space available provided you have enough RAM and swap, do as root: umount /dev/shm mount -t tmpfs -o size=466m none /dev/shm OK, it works; so in order to avoid doing this every time i added size=466m to the options column of fstab. It seems to work allright but for the fact that then firefox does not work anymore: I can launch it, but then it freezes. And then if I issue by hand these commands, firefox is as usual again! What am I doing wrong? Here's my fstab's tmpfs line: . # glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for # POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). # (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will # use almost no memory if not populated with files) shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,size=466m 0 0 tia, -- Jean Magnan de Bornier |Cours Victor Hugo e-mots: jean at bornier.net|13980 Alleins France T 08 70 39 34 03 |P 06 09 17 35 87 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
