I have a server with gentoo hardened and updated to baselayout 2.1 today and it suggests to reboot my system to mount /run with tmpfs.
I'd like to not reboot and mount /run with tmpfs, is this possible with -o remount somehow? Like mount -t tmpfs -o remount ? /run. google is not my friend... :(

It seems like Linux shouldn't need to reboot but in reality you should once in a while.

But it looks like you can remount tmpfs just fine... I just tried it and resized/remounted tmpfs without issues... Though I'm not sure what it would do if told to shrink a full tmpfs.
