I tried it with kernel 2.6.13-rc5 and it seems to work.
It uses 50% of total memory for tmpfs, but it would be nice to have an option (tmpfs_size=90% etc.) that you could pass to the kernel.
You need to add this to init/main.c for it to compile. #include <asm/uaccess.h> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
