You need to run 2.6.10, as it doesn't exhibit the tmpfs filling up
problem like 2.6.9 variants do. The tmpfs problem is also compounded
by the fact that UMLs without the fix-kill patch don't exit properly,
but the 2.6.9-bb4 patchset has the fix for UML.
For 2.4-um, you can find the fix-kill patch here:

Hi,
just tried again with SuSE host kernel 2.6.8-24.10: same problem.
(Is 2.6.8-24.10 a 2.6.8 with back-ported fixes from 2.6.10 ?)

Well, this matches some other reports of a different problem

to 2.6.9 host bugs.
I'd suggest trying to reproduce the bug with a 2.6.8.1 +
SKAS3-v7 patch, or checking what's different in the SuSE kernel
from vanilla 2.6.8.1 (I'm particularly suspiscious about the
TASK_TRACED introduction).
The suse 2.6.8 kernel is actually 2.6.9-rc2, thus more close to
2.6.9 than 2.6.8. Especially it already has the TASK_TRACED
stuff and I've used the 2.6.9 version of the skas v7 patch
(and also thats why I've
suggested to check against 2.6.9 not 2.6.8.1 vanilla to see if
the issue is still there).
Remember that there was an invisible reference from died UMLs that
kept the tmpfs from being unmounted (multiply reported, I
experienced that too). Well, it the file is kept used, then it will
keep using the tmpfs space. So nothing new....
