How large should the tmpfs mounted on /run (or /var/run) be? If it's not specified in /etc/fstab (or on the command line of the mount command) then the default is to allocate half of RAM to the tmpfs, which seems a little excessive. At the moment on this system /var/run contains about 24Kb of files and /dev 128 Kb. Would a tmpfs of a megabyte be enough for now?
