Hello,

We resurrected an old machine which had its last update of TSL 2.2 
packages around July 2005.  I did a swup upgrade and everything went well. 
I noticed, however,  a /dev/shm entry on my /etc/fstab:

none     /dev/shm               tmpfs   defaults        0 0

I get boot errors saying that /dev/shm does not exist.  It truly does 
not exist and I have no idea what it is for.    I've tried reading 
around and some have suggested   replacing the "none" with "tmpfs".  Of 
course, the problem still persists since /dev/shm doesn't really exist.  
What is it for?  

If the device /dev/shm is needed, how do I create it?

It it isn't needed, will it be ok to remove the entry from /etc/fstab?

And, as a last note, some of the 2.2 boxes we have here (which have been 
swupdated around August 2005) do not have the /dev/shm entry on fstab.

Thank you very much!

Best Regards,

Carlo
