Question regarding file systems on VPS servers
Hello.
I have a question regarding VPS hosting, which I have asked on other forums but no luck as yet.
It's a bit technical, but I'm hoping that someone here may be able to help as there seems to a lot of vendors here.
I need to make extensive use of tmpfs. Specifically, I need to modify tmpfs size and number of inodes used. This would take the form of a line in the /etc/fstab file - something like this:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,size=XXXXm,noatime,nosuid,nodev,nr_inodes=XXXX 0 0
This works fine on local environments, but I'm ignorant about how shared environments work and I don't know if customised fstab files are allowed and/or would even work.
Obviously, all data on tmpfs is lost on re-boot, but I would need the filesystem to boot back with the same config.
Can this be done?
Thanks.

fstab works on VPS.
What you try will (most likely) not work on OpenVZ/LXC (which both are end of life anyway), but is zero issue on KVM/VMWare/HyperV/Xen.
That's precisely the answer I was looking for. Thanks so much.
