 Tmpfs can be used as memory filesystem, so you can limit tmpfs
 max size using /etc/default/tmpfs to prevent tmpfs from using
 up all system memory.

+/sys in /etc/fstab
+------------------
+
+If the mounting point /sys/ have an entry in /etc/fstab (which is not
+required, it will be mounted in any case), the entry have to look like
+this:
+
+  sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
+
+The reason is that the entry in fstab need to match the entry
+generated by the mountkernfs.sh and mtab.sh scripts.  If it does not,
+the system will complain with this message during boot:
+
+  Will now mount local filesystems:mount: /sys already mounted or /sys busy
+  mount: according to mtab, sysfs is already mounted on /sys
