		Hi, 
 
I am trying to change the size of the /tmp directory which is currently of 1GB: 
 
 ============================================================ ======== 
root@bob /etc/vz/dists [41]# vzctl enter 998 
entered into CT 998 
root@testing:/# mount 
/dev/simfs on / type simfs (rw,relatime) 
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) 
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) 
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=5120k,mode=755) 
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=490536k,mode=755) 
tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k) 
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=981072k) 
tmpfs on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,size=981072k) 
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620) 
root@testing:/# 
 ============================================================ ======== 
 
Any idea where to change that value of "981072k"? I am digging into 
the config files and elsewhere, but I cannot figure out from where 
this value comes from. 
 
Best,

democratically elected legislators."

		As far as I know it comes from the size of your RAM.
