Description Christopher Blizzard 2007-04-02 20:07:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

On OLPC we need to limit the size of the tmpfs that everything is mounted on. 
We have no backing store so if you download something large into /tmp it will
eat all the available memory and OOM will start eating things.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

initscripts-9.45.7-1
Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2007-04-10 16:26:40 UTC 
Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This
isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost.

This is a bulk message -- I apologize if this was actually meant to be targeted
against a different release. If so, please fix or let me know. Thanks.
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2007-04-13 22:52:54 UTC 
Options added in CVS, will be in 8.52-1.

# Options to use for temporary mount
RW_OPTIONS=
# Options to use for peristent mount
STATE_OPTIONS=

Bill, any chance we can get this ported to FC-6 packages as well?

patch for FC-6

Here's the patch for FC-6; it's in CVS, but there aren't really updates
scheduled for initscripts for FC-6 at this point. Do you need a released
update?
