    37 <para>When using a reiserfs partition, the <parameter>1 1</parameter> at the

    41 <para>The <filename class="directory">/dev/shm</filename> mount point for
    42 <systemitem class="filesystem">tmpfs</systemitem> is included to
    43 allow enabling POSIX shared memory. Your kernel must have the required support
    44 built into it for this to work -- more about this in the next section. Please
    45 note that currently very little software actually uses POSIX shared memory.
    46 Therefore you can consider the <filename class="directory">/dev/shm</filename> mount point
    47 optional. For more information, see
    48 <filename>Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt</filename> in the kernel source
    49 tree.</para>

    51 <para>There are other lines which you may consider adding to your
    52 <filename>fstab</filename> file. One example is a line to use if you intend to

    57 <para>This option will of course only work if you have the
