[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#390184: /lib/init/rw uses 1.8 Gbytes for nothing

[tech at mediaforest.net]

I can't find any information about the way tmpfs_size is calculated, but on two boxes, it is the half of system memory.
The problem is that on one I get /lib/init/rw and /dev/shm sized to 1.8 Gbytes and the other sized to 500 Mbytes, which 
seems to be very very much just to keep a few Kbytes.

furthermore, /lib/init/rw isn't mentioned in the filelists of packages
and i cannot get information about the use of this mounpoint in a running system
