Hi

Please revert the last commit[#1], mounting /dev as NOEXEC is incorrect. This break nvidia GLX extension, vmware, mplayer and possible others programs that uses mmap() with execute privilege.

PS: I guess that setting a size is "redundant"

Thanks.

Setting size is not redundant, as without it, tmpfs allows to allocate 1GB by default. Though tmpfs is a dynamic filesystem that only uses memory that is in use on tmpfs, I don't think it makes sense to allow more than 10MB here. Other distributions limit the size of tmpfs also.

CC'ing this to the arch-dev-public list, as our bugtracker is down.

OK, no problem. Correction: by default is 50% of installed RAM. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D
