Probably used by some of the scripts of your distro. I have no idea about what exactly (I can just guess), but you can leave that alone. > tmpfs 507M 437M 70M 87% /dev/shm > > it's very interesting, that /dev/shm is filled to 87%. lsof /dev/shm > shows, that it is used by uml system. but in uml if i do free, i can see > Mem: 512908 (total) 198704 (used) 314204 (free) > > Actually my question is, why do i have two tmpfs mounts and why is one > filled up to 87%, when uml is using only less than 50%? On this one Jeff already answered. However, that tmpfs is less than 512Mb, so I confirm my explaination. If there is a line in /etc/fstab about /dev/shm, you can add an option 'size=XXXM', say 'size=520M'. Or reduce UML amount of used memory. Recent uml kernels (if the console can be seen, I complained about con=null) display a specific error message saying that host memory was exhausted (thanks Jeff). -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can add them to my list!
