 |
|
I'm using baselayout-1.11.9-r1, with this version mount command reports | Code: | udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) |
and df -h | Code: | udev 125M 616K 125M 1% /dev
none 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm
|
Can I remove /dev/shm from /etc/fstab or this device is still necessary?

Don't remove it.
It's used by applications that need shared memory.
It doesn't use any resources while not in use anyway. |

Ok but if I mount /dev ... doesn't /dev/shm is mount implicitly?

Not at all.
You don't get everything mounted when you mount / either. /dev/shm is a filesystem in its own right on must current linux systems. |
