I don't know anything about Debian, but the fact that it's being mounted by mountvirtfs means that it's not 'automaticly done', correct? File systems can be mounted even if they aren't in fstab, but shm isn't done automatically as someone suggested earlier. Since my Gentoo systems don't have this mountvirtfs script it doesn't happen on my box. Or so I think... ;-) - Mark
