Since installing Debian 3.1r1 on a healthy HD, everything appears to work.

However when I shut it down, there is a complaint about tmpfs running and
being switched to "read-only" mode.
Is this what is supposed to happen?

"df" gives the following output:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] felixk]$ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb5             28822528   4756700  24065828  17% /

tmpfs                    10240       792      9448   8% /dev

Does something need fixing?
Hi
no i don't think so

as you can see in my output, thats perfectly normal
/dev/shm is to my knowlege for internal kernel use
and tmpfs for /dev comes from udev which mounts a tmpfs to /dev and then
populates it with, and only with, the needed device nodes

I see the same message myself, but it comes way down on my list of things to clean up - I'm more worried about all sorts of messages of unknown seriousness during boot up - if I learn a little everyday, I'll have got it licked by the time I die. :)
