As shown in OP: /dev/ram7 /var/tmp ramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev 0 0 /dev/ram /tmp ramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev 0 0 I.e., I don't want all writes dumped to the persistency partition, so I excluded /tmp & /var/tmp by using ramfs. I hope that live-initramfs can have a boot parameter to control how big the /dev/ram device is. thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
