Well, you can delete the symbolic link, create a directory /dev/shm and mount a new tmpfs there: rm /dev/shm mkdir /dev/shm mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G tmpfs /dev/shm I did this once or twice to compile a package the tests of which would otherwise fail. I do not know what happens if you reboot; each time, I reverted the changes with umount /dev/shm rmdir /dev/shm ln -s /run/shm /dev/shm Andreas
