Look in /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation. I did these two things to pull up some potential candidates: $ cd /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentations $ grep -r '/dev/shm' . That will get you started. <give a man a fish> The answer to your question is in: $ /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt And finally, my comment. You aren't making much sense right now. Why are you writing to /dev/shm directly? I would be doubly sure you know what the files in /dev and /proc are before you go tinkering with them. You can destroy your system quite easily. I think you have /dev/ramdisk and /dev/shm confused. The former is where you store tmp files. The latter is used by glibc for shared memory. - -- Jonathan Gardner <jgardner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (was jgardn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Live Free, Use Linux! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/DtbdWgwF3QvpWNwRAloBAJ4+bzvADZbg96dXZST0zcRyKnOGwgCZAQ37 uuHckmHndy7Oz4KcBnmx7RY= =pqjl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
