tempfs

[Ugo Bellavance]

Thanks kevin,

Do you think we sould put that in the faq?

Another question... I'm just unsure about one thing: when I do a df, I see nothing in /dev/shm.  However, I do see the right amount of data (I copied a few files there just to test), in my new mount point. Is that normal?

See:

[root at bobby incoming]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8             244M  118M  113M  52% /
