Is the `size` parameter for tmpfs in fstab not working?

$
0
0

I am confused about whether my /tmp using tmpfs is respecting the size parameter that I gave to it in /etc/fstab:

My fstab entry is:

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid,relatime,size=4G 0 0

But according to du, it is using half of my memory (which I understand is the default) instead of the size I meant to allocate to it.

 ~ df /tmpFilesystem     1K-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted ontmpfs           65921428     0  65921428   0% /tmp

So is the size parameter simply not having any effect?I am working with Ubuntu 20.04

Edit I can mount it manually with

sudo mount -oremount,size=4G /tmp

When I do that /tmp is the expected 20.04 GB.

Edit: systemd status:
