If you just want to get rid of the error message just
comment it out in your /etc/fstab file.

# tmpfs         /dev/shm        tmpfs   defaults        0 0

As always when changing a system configuration file make
a backup copy first.

 
 
 

1. tmpfs: [ID 610955 kern.warning] WARNING: tmp_memalloc: tmpfs over memory limit

Is there some kind of memory limit setting in /etc/system or
something?  This is the error I'm getting when my /tmp gets over about
70% full.  I've just never heard of this before, could someone explain
please.  Below is my vfstab if it matters at all...
