I used to have the tmpfs /dev/shm, but lost it due to recent update. However, I found that a fresh debootstrap install has it. So,

I'm wondering who is in charge of creating it -- so as to get it back.

From debian.user mlist, I know that it is started by /etc/init.d/

mountdevsubfs.sh, and I found that /etc/init.d/mtab.sh starts it too. However, neither of the two is started in my current debootstrap installed system:

$ grep -E 'devs|mtab' /etc/runlevel.conf 04 - S /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh 12 - S /etc/init.d/mtab.sh 36 - S /etc/init.d/udev-mtab

Yet, I have /dev/shm. Does grml-autoconfig or similar starts it automatically? Please help.

thanks
