Hi,

Any ideas how the size of /dev/shm is decided? Can we increase it by any way? We're testing it to mount as a filesystem and see if we can use it for temp area for one of our application. We're running RHEL ES3.0

has anyone used it? Are there any security hazards?
Any inputs towards this will be greatly appreciated. regards,


I've used is since RH 7.1 for a fast ram drive. I put read-only text files of our customer lists in that directory. Having it in ram improved sed/grep searches.
