I have read through all replies, but I still did not find
answers to my original questions:
Q1: Can I somehow reduce the size of /run? I know it is tmpfs
and I know this is upper limit normally never achieved, but
I want to reduce this upper limit. Is it possible, or is it
hard-coded to half of physical memory?
Q2: Can I turn this "/run in tmpfs" feature off? I do not
see *any* advantage in vasting memory for /run (although
I agree there might be some point in moving "run" from
/var/run to /run). But I see one big problem:
If badly written application starts writing some crap in
/run, it could deadlock my computer quite easily. And before
you ask, no it is not so easy to do with /run on hard-drive
because I have plenty of TB there and monitoring software
running which alerts me as soon as any partition is half
full. Unfortunatelly this does not work for tmpfs because
with given read/write speed of ram-disk it would be full
in a few seconds before I had any chance to act...
