    Fellow managers,
     
    Related to my Oracle problem this morning, I saw something that could
    be the problem. Despite de fact that my swap filesystem is 4 Gb. in
    size, the tmpfs filesystems are very very smalls:
     
    df -k:
    swap 195840 16 195824 1% /var/run
    swap 195840 16 195824 1% /tmp
     
    My quick question is: how can I increase it to be, by default, at least
    10 times bigger? Is it in the kernel (/etc/system) that we specify it?
    I found that the "mount -F tmpfs -o size=<size needed> swap <mount
    point>" is working, but is there another way to "force" it without
    passing by the /etc/vfstab file?
     
    How does Solaris fix these filesystems size? Why, in this case, I have
    only 195 Mb.?
     
    Thanks in advance and will summarise!
