Yes, I complained to this effect to Nick explaining that despite my laptop having 3G of RAM, I couldn't create an UME VM because it was larger than 1.5 G -- this despite having the disk space.
I first guessed tmpfs had perf improvements, but Nick pointed me at this bug with the nodev, nosuid /tmp issue. One option would be to claim that one of /tmp or the target fs need to be mounted without these flags and report a failure otherwise. Another option might be to loop mount a file, but it requires guessing the filesystem size; you could use a sparse 8 GB ext3 and copy over to the target fs, but that wouldn't be elegant, or you could try to loop mount the target fs. In all cases I think tmpfs is an interesting /option/ and proposed Nick to simply not make it the default. -- [SRU] Fails to generate valid image if /tmp is mounted nosuid,nodev & -t is not specified https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228744 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
