Bug#544583: Need to control ramfs size
Package: live-initramfs
Version: 1.157.2-1
Severity: minor
Hi,
I've bumped into "out of disk space" problem when using Debian
Live. I am using the persistent root and a big swap partition,
but mount tmp on ramfs -- in fstab:
/dev/ram7 /var/tmp ramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev 0 0
/dev/ram /tmp ramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev 0 0
but it didn't go long before running into "out of disk space"
problem.
I hope that live-initramfs can control how big the /dev/ram device
is (better be 1/8 of swap spaces for example).
Thanks
Tong Sun
