    Hi techies,

    on MTCDP-H5, by default, CoreCDP mounts 3 memory locations as tmpfs, as seen below:

    tmpfs                    29.9M    108.0K     29.8M   0% /var/volatile
tmpfs                    29.9M      4.0K     29.9M   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                    29.9M         0     29.9M   0% /media/ram

    I was wondering if /media/ram is needed. Can we stop fstab from mounting this safely? What’s the difference between /dev/shm and /media/ram?

    I was wondering if we could save 30 MB of RAM by getting rid of /media/ram.

    Thank you.

    /media/ram is not needed and you can disable it if you wish. You won’t get much RAM freed up though, tmpfs only uses RAM based on what is stored in the filesystem.

    Thanks. I will leave it alone then.
