Description Stas Sergeev 2010-11-06 13:47:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
After boot, I have the permissions
of /dev/shm set to 0755. This prevents
the programs from using posix SHM.
I have an fstab entry for that, which
sets them to 0777. But it seems, it is
mounted by initramfs, and the fstab entry
is now ignored.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-9.20.1-1.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ls -ld /dev/shm
  
Actual results:
The perms are 0755

Expected results:
Whatever I put in fstab

Additional info:
I think initscripts should remount /dev/shm
so that the fstab to take an effect. I put
umount /dev/shm
mount /dev/shm
into rc.local for a work-around.

The generated grub2 config was lacking
the initrd string...
