Hi,
I think this bug is not the same as #688412 because /etc/fstab is NOT involved
here.
As shown in the configuration files below, I have configured RAMTMP with the
default size settings.
tmpfs(5) says:
TMPFS_SIZE
Maximum size for all tmpfs filesystems if no specific size is
provided. The default is 20%VM (20% of virtual memory, includ‐
ing swap space). If no value is provided here, the kernel de‐
fault (50% RAM) will be used.
I find this confusing, because the default in /etc/defaults/tmpfs is:
#TMPFS_SIZE=20%VM
Which is commented out, so presumably the default is for the kernel default to
be used, which should give me 50 % or 2 GB of my 4 GB of RAM:
$ free
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 3964444 264432 666512 1524 3033500 3435280
Swap: 8388604 19784 8368820
However my tmpfs is only 775 MB:
$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
...
tmpfs 792880 0 792880 0% /dev/shm
...
tmpfs 792880 856 792024 1% /tmp
Which appears to be only 20 % of my physical RAM.
Have I misunderstood something or is there a bug here? This is a recent
Bullseye installation.
Thanks,
Roger
