Hello,

Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.c currently says:

If nr_blocks=0 (or size=0), blocks will not be limited in that instance;
if nr_inodes=0, inodes will not be limited.

However, mounting a tmpfs with "mount -t tmpfs -o size=0 tmpfs /root/tmpfs" results in a tmpfs where only zero-sized files can live. So either this behaviour should be fixed to be in accordance with the documentation, or the documentation should reflect the current behaviour.

Please ignore, that applies to old kernels only, not to 2.6.14.
