[SOLVED] How to use hugepages with tmpfs

Issue

I need to use tmpfs with hugepages and what I tried is : sudo mount -t ramfs -osize=6G,mode=1777,id=$ID,huge=always tmpfs memory_path

With huge=always but there is no different result from before

Is there something that I've missed? Can someone explain please?

Solution

ramfs and tmps are two similar, but different file systems. ramfs doesn't support the parameter huge=always, so you can't notice any difference. Try this one:

sudo mount -t tmpfs -osize=6G,mode=1777,huge=always tmpfs memory_path
