new vps with fedora 13

my fstab

none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

first one works

tmpfs doesn't get mounted....
can't figure out why =\

worked on fedora 10...

You're mounting tmpfs to /dev/shm. Does /dev/shm exist? try "ls /dev/shm" to see if it's there. Perhaps device names have changed since fed 10

[root@evermore subsys]# ls -l /dev/shm
total 0
[root@evermore subsys]# ls

yes it exist, there's nothing inside of it though

i ls subsys cuz i touch local

and local does get created, so i know first one works
second one fails to mount tmpfs

How do you know it's not mounted ?

evermore · 04-16-2011, 03:34 PM

lol because my teamspeak server minimum script fails

error out because tmpfs is not mounted

you can also do mount command

to see what is mounted

and more /etc/mtab i think will show what is mounted and recorded.....

so i am pretty sure it is not mounted...

That means that it exists?

i really hope so man, cuz i just tried the ls on nonexistant directory ? and this is what i got, so i hope i am not wrong ?

[root@evermore ~]# ls -l /dev/themanwhowasireallyreallyreallyreallythinkmyshmdir
existman
ls: cannot access /dev/themanwhowasireallyreallyreallyreallythinkmyshmdirexistman: No such file or directory

It's the

Code:

[root@evermore subsys]# ls -l /dev/shm
total 0

that i don't understand. If I ls -l a non existent block device I get the same error as you. If I ls -l an existing one, I get

Code:

[chicken@soup:~]# ls -l /dev/sdb3
brw-rw---- root disk 22, 0 April 17 17:28 /dev/sdb3

So .. idk

I have fedora 14 and ls -l /dev/ | grep -i "shm" gets this output.

Code:

$ ls -l /dev | grep -i "shm"
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 40 Apr 13 01:32 shm

I also show the same mount options for tmpfs in fstab and checked it is mounted via mount.
However I noticed that /dev/pts is mounted differently for me, perhaps that is hanging up the mount process for tmpfs?

Code:

tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
