I *think* I looked into this a bit back when I wrote the patch, and IIRC, my understanding was that shmem referred to an internal kernel FS backing not just tmpfs but also the older ramfs. But I guess ultimately that’s not something the user is likely to care about, so tmpfs is better. And in either case I’ve forfeited any right to complain about what you did to this patch by postponing my replies for way too long :/ Thanks for applying! Cheers, Lucas
