It really matters that fstab entry? Hmm, guess I was a bit wrong about the kernele automounting. In Mandrake /dev/shm is mounted by /etc/rc.sysinit : mount -n -t tmpfs none /dev/shm after it has mounted devpts. I guess you could have it mounted either way (but not both). Do you have a fstab entry and if so, what does it look like? - Peder
