This may be related to me running mdev instead of udev. I've been
using /dev/shm for creating and deleting scratch files, to speed things
up when processing photographs with automated scripts. It used to work.
But now it no longer allows writes by anybody except root. A couple of
days ago, I did a big update, which resulted in devpts having to be
explicitly mounted. Since I run mdev instead of udev, the instruction
to "rc-update add udev-mount sysinit" doesn't work for me. Instead I
put an explicit "mount devpts" in /etc/local.d/000.start, which handles
the automounting. Anybody else seeing /dev/shm as root-only, or is this
an artifact of my weird setup?

I'm not real sure on what you are doing but, this is what mine is:
root@fireball / # ls -al /dev/shm
total 4
drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 60 Dec 3 18:20 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4400 Dec 26 18:56 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dale users 32 Dec 3 18:20 sem.lastpassffsemaphore
root@fireball / #
It seems that whatever file is there is owned by the person who created
it. I use LastPass for my password manager so, I assume, that is what
that is. Odd tho that I am not currently logged into LastPast but can't
imagine what else could be named that.
That help any? Can I get you any other info?

Do you have the fstab line:
"none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0"
I also grepped /usr/lib/udev/* and no shm shows in the udev rules there.
The contents of the dir are as Dale sees - I have a couple of

I had an ancient version, which I've been copying to new installs for
years. It was...
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
I changed over to your line, and rebooted, but no difference. I
finally did things the hard way in fstab...
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw,noatime,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
...and in /etc/local.d/000.start I've added a chmod line...
#!/bin/bash
mount devpts
chmod 1777 /dev/shm
Note that on my system, "defaults" in fstab allows scripts to execute
on /dev/shm, which is generally frowned on. "noexec" blocks that,
notwithstanding the chmod 1777. Out of sheer curiousity, what happens
when you create file /dev/shm/hello with 2 lines...
#!/bin/bash
echo "Hello World"
...and then you
chmod 755 /dev/shm/hello
/dev/shm/hello
Does it execute or come back with permission denied?

Are you on regular udev? I thought that /dev/shm was supposed to be
noexec as a security measure.

Does that help any? If I read that correctly, it is executable. At

Can you create the sample script on /dev/shm, chmod it 755, and try
to run it. The "noexec" mount option over-rides attributes that chmod
sets. E.g. on my machine...
[d531][waltdnes][~] chmod 744 /dev/shm/hw
[d531][waltdnes][~] ll /dev/shm/hw
-rwxr--r-- 1 waltdnes users 32 Dec 27 19:10 /dev/shm/hw
[d531][waltdnes][~] /dev/shm/hw
bash: /dev/shm/hw: Permission denied
[d531][waltdnes][~]

Mine does this:
root@fireball / # chmod 755 /dev/shm/hello
root@fireball / # /dev/shm/hello
-su: /dev/shm/hello: Permission denied
root@fireball / # ls -al /dev/shm/hello
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31 Dec 28 23:08 /dev/shm/hello
root@fireball / # cat /etc/fstab | grep shm
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
root@fireball / #
So I get permission denied too. I did that as root to I might add in
case you don't notice.
That help?

Have you somehow disabled the "localmount" service? That fstab line
should work fine.
