Did some research and came across this article which Robert Love goes on to explain what it's used for and that it's unneeded http://seclists.org/linux-kernel/2001/Dec/3956.html I notice that after commenting out /dev/shm in /etc/fstab, memory usage goes back to normal even after prelink runs. However, this article is quite old. I'm wondering if Robert Love's comments still apply? Does Kernel 2.6.x use /dev/shm for anything else? -- Scott Sloan ------------ "I'm not a genius.
