2180	file system for /dev/shm differs from Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt	Gabriel Sean Farrell	Jeremy Huntwork	"In ""8.2. Creating the /etc/fstab File"", the user is instructed to create the following line in fstab:
{{{
shm            /dev/shm     tmpfs  defaults        0     0
}}}
The Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt file that came with my kernel sources (2.6.22.19) suggests the following:
{{{
tmpfs          /dev/shm     tmpfs  defaults        0     0
}}}
Note that the ""file system"" is tmpfs, not shm.  I believe it's just convention, creating no technical problems, but the LFS book is the only place I've seen ""shm"" used for the file system."	defect	closed	normal	7.0	Book	SVN	normal	fixed
