41 <para os="c">The <filename class="directory">/dev/shm</filename> mount point
42 for <systemitem class="filesystem">tmpfs</systemitem> is included to
43 allow enabling POSIX-shared memory. The kernel must have the required
44 support built into it for this to work (more about this is in the next
45 section). Please note that very little software currently uses
46 POSIX-shared memory. Therefore, consider the <filename
47 class="directory">/dev/shm</filename> mount point optional. For more
48 information, see <filename>Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt</filename>
49 in the kernel source tree.</para>
