Hi:
Currently I'm using shmfs as a volatile storage. I am using Monta Vista's kernel (2.4.2). I added the following line in /etc/fstab:
tmpfs /dev/shm shm defaults 0 0
# df /dev/shm Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on tmpfs 0 0 0 - /dev/shm
the "0" number of blocks seems fishy.
I cannot write to the filesystem. write returns EINVAL. I can create an empty file, however.
What should I do to make it work? Thanks.
By the way, I know tmpfs is a replacement of shmfs, but it's not in the 2.4.2 kernel I am using (can't find in config). Is it in any newer kernels (especially 2.4.9)? Is it stable enough?
Thanks
