Package: initramfs-tools-core Version: 0.130 Severity: important In a virtual machine with 160 MiB RAM, running a freshly installed Debian stretch system (i686), got messages like this logged from (at least) sh and ifup:
"Failed to reload daemon: Refusing to reload, not enough space available on /run/systemd. Currently, 15.6M are free, but a safety buffer of 16.0M is enforced." I noticed that /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init mounts /run specifying "size=10%". To prevent this issue in machines low on RAM, it would be nice for the /run tmpfs size to be automatically set taking into account systemd's minimum requirement. Or, at least, to have this size as a nicely (/etc/...) configurable parameter with some warning on README. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages initramfs-tools-core depends on: ii cpio 2.11+dfsg-6 ii klibc-utils 2.0.4-9 ii kmod 23-2 ii udev 232-22 Versions of packages initramfs-tools-core recommends: ii busybox 1:1.22.0-19+b3 Versions of packages initramfs-tools-core suggests: ii bash-completion 1:2.1-4.3 -- no debconf information
