tmpfs size option specified in fstab is ignored during boot proccess in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Issue
-
We explicitly specify the size of some tmpfs mounts in
/etc/fstabwith a "size=" mount option, e.g.:tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs size=4g 0 0In RHEL4 and RHEL5 this causes the tmpfs mount to come up at boot time with the specified size; however, in RHEL6 the tmpfs mount comes up at boot time with a size half that of system RAM, disregarding any "
size" option in/etc/fstab.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
