See the > mount(8) manpage where it talks about the nr_inodes option. >From the tmpfs documentation it kind of implies inodes take half the RAM pages: nr_inodes: The maximum number of inodes for this instance. The default is half of the number of your physical RAM pages, or (on a machine with highmem) the number of lowmem RAM pages, whichever is the lower. Now while reading it again, I think I may have misread it previously... Looks like half the RAM pages is used as a default number of inodes, but inodes don't consume that much. It's good to know udev is not a pig... :) -- Denys
