Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello Kernel Users, is there a size limit for tmpfs for the /dev/shm filesystem? Normally its default size is set to 2 GB. Is it possible to create a 2 TB (Terrabyte) filesystem with tmpfs? Or is there a maximum size defined in the linux kernel? -- Best regards, Mika Lawando
