Bug Description
I have 16 gb of memory and cannot figure out how to modify the new /run/shm mounted directory. The default for this directory is 50% of available memory and I need to increase the size to support multiple databases in memory. There used to be a /etc/default/tmpfs file that allowed to configure a different size. Please let me know if there is a way to store the desired size for /run/shm.
As a side note, there is a symbolic link created /dev/shm used for compatibility. Unfortunately some applications require thsi to be mounted directory using bind option. I have changed the /etc/init/
