Description of problem: Trying to move /tmp to RAM to avoid extra writes to an SSD used as root drive. Adding this line to /etc/fstab worked for me on f16: none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 However on f17 adding this line prevents the machine from booting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 17 How reproducible: every boot fails Steps to Reproduce: 1. add above line to /etc/fstab 2. reboot 3. Actual results: boot halts Expected results: machine to boot up Additional info:
Works for me. What exact versions of systemd and util-linux packages do you have? Could you attach the whole fstab?
util-linux-2.21.1-1.fc17.x86_64 systemd-44-4.fc17.x86_64 systemd-sysv-44-4.fc17.x86_64 # # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Tue Mar 27 14:45:15 2012 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info # UUID=c743fee5-9d6b-41ae-87e9-a658b77663c4 / ext4 noatime,discard,data=writeback 1 1 UUID=0ae2a4bd-fa04-4b59-9dc4-5ff3f023fb5a swap swap defaults 0 0 # # ppk - move /tmp to RAM # none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
Rebooting with setup in Comment 2 machine booted successfully. Must have gotten fixed sometime after the Alpha was released, because it was broken then. Closing bug as fixed.
