Hello,
I've configured my kernel (2.4.13-ac8) to use tmpfs, but it seems that it only uses half my physical memory (64 of 128MB).
>From Configure/help /* Tmpfs is a file system which keeps all files in virtual memory.
In contrast to RAM disks, which get allocated a ficed aount of physical RAM, tmps grows and shrinks to accommodate the files it contains and is able to swap unneeded pages out to swap space. */
Well, it doesn't grows, neither shrinks, but maybe it's only me because I'm a newbie with this. How does tmpfs works, and how do I configure it correctly.
Thank you in advance, Norberto
