Is /dev/shm needed for 2.4.x kernel?
I have a question about /dev/shm...
On my Aurora SPARC Linux 0.32 systems, running 2.4.x kernels, I have
this information from mount:
$ mount
/dev/sda4 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sdb1 on /opt type ext2 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
fw:/home/chj on /home/chj type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.1)
fw:/var/mail on /var/spool/mail type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.1.1)
and on my debian 3.0 sparc SS20 (sun4m) system I do not have /dev/shm
mounted, and no "device" (directory) either... I run Rob's 2.4.19_2
kernels...
What is this /dev/shm and how is it used?
Do I need to create a /dev/shm and mount it? If so, how?
Cheers,
/ChJ
