Hello,
   I am using busybox 1.2.1 and I'm having trouble mounting tmpfs with
size constraints:

root at generic:/# mount -t tmpfs -o size=4264k none /tmp

root at generic:/# mount
...(truncated)
none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw)

root at generic:/# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1000k count=5
5+0 records in
5+0 records out

root at generic:/# ls -lh /tmp
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         4.9M Aug 18 16:03 foo

I shouldn't have been able to write that file (foo) to /tmp.

I apologize if I am seeking assistance in the wrong place. It appears
to me that mount isn't passing off the size option.

Any thoughts? Am I missinig something?

Chey
