'Can't Mount /dev/shm...

DreameR-X · 06-16-2005, 05:28 PM

ATI recommends enabling POSIX Shared Memory to get 3D accel. in Wine, and they tell you to write in /dev/shm for /etc/fstab with the following:

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

and then mounting /dev/shm.

I did the first parrt, but when trying to mount I get the following error:

Code:

# mount /dev/shm
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on tmpfs,
       missing codepage or other error

Any ideas? Thanks ahead!

Cheers,

first make sure your kernel supports tmpfs
cat /proc/filesystems

Code:

sinful@Jedi:~$ cat /proc/filesystems
nodev   sysfs
nodev   rootfs
nodev   bdev
nodev   proc
nodev   sockfs
nodev   binfmt_misc
nodev   usbfs
nodev   pipefs
nodev   futexfs
nodev   tmpfs
nodev   eventpollfs
nodev   devpts
        reiserfs
        ext3
        ext2
nodev   ramfs
        msdos
        vfat
        iso9660
nodev   devfs
        hfsplus
        hfs
nodev   nfs
nodev   nfsd
nodev   smbfs
nodev   cifs
        ntfs
        udf
nodev   mqueue
nodev   rpc_pipefs

Wow, good call!

'All better now!
