Help!
I upgraded my server. Did a clean install of plesk 8.1 It all runs fine but in watchdog / discs it complains about /dev/shm

I did a ls -ld /dev/shm and sure enough its a regular directory. However 'mount' shows its mounted just fine. Also shows max size and free space - what gives?
So how can I change it to a device block instead of a directory?
There must be a way...
Thanks David

Here is more info:

I have searched and can't find out how to change it from directory to Block Special.

It used to be fine as plesk would let me report on /dev/shm

I dont want to have to redo this damn server again!



Only thing remotely related is:

And is this recommended? But as it says no to block device wont it be the same issue all over?
