   I have no idea (yet) where the default setting is, but I believe the   
   default is half of usable RAM.  That's the maximum size; AFAIK tmpfs   
   only uses as much RAM as needed for whatever's stored on it at that   
   moment.  In the first example above, that filesystem was taking up less   
   than 6M of RAM at that moment.  HTH
