Bug#862013: initramfs-tools-core: /run tmpfs size hardcoded at 10% RAM, but 16.0 MiB free required in /run/systemd
Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.130
Severity: important
In a virtual machine with 160 MiB RAM, running a freshly installed Debian stretch system (i686),
got messages like this logged from (at least) sh and ifup:
"Failed to reload daemon: Refusing to reload, not enough space available on /run/systemd.
Currently, 15.6M are free, but a safety buffer of 16.0M is enforced."
I noticed that /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init mounts /run specifying "size=10%".
To prevent this issue in machines low on RAM, it would be nice for the /run tmpfs size
to be automatically set taking into account systemd's minimum requirement. Or, at least,
to have this size as a nicely (/etc/...) configurable parameter with some warning on README.
