Comment(by Quozl):

 On build os108, assuming system RAM of 1 GB, a non-root user can write to
 these separate filesystems:

 ||'''tmpfs'''||'''size'''||
 ||/tmp||48 Mb||
 ||/var/tmp||48 Mb||
 ||/dev/shm||48 Mb||
 ||/var/lib/stateless/writable||1 Mb||

 Root user can circumvent the sizes by changing configuration.

 What is the use case for needing more space for the above user writable
 filesystems?  ;-)

 I can think of one; where a problem is reproducible only by an unskilled
 remote user and /var/log output needs to be obtained without truncation.
 It will require more effort to explain to them how to increase the limit
 or change rsyslog.conf to write to /home/olpc.  For which they will need
 root anyway.
