Rich,

I am running Fedora 20:

Here's the df -h output:
devtmpfs                 2.8G     0  2.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs                    2.9G   37M  2.8G   2% /dev/shm
tmpfs                    2.9G 1012K  2.9G   1% /run
tmpfs                    2.9G     0  2.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/fedora-root   50G   29G   18G 62% /
tmpfs                    2.9G   32K  2.9G   1% /tmp
/dev/sda1                477M  230M  219M  52% /boot
/dev/mapper/fedora-home   92G   38G   50G  43% /home

Here's the ls -hal of /dev/shm
total 212K
drwxrwxrwt.  2 root root  220 Apr 15 21:11 .
drwxr-xr-x. 21 root root 3.5K Apr 15 08:06 ..
-rwx------.  1 gdm  gdm   65M Apr 15 08:06 pulse-shm-2442712175
-rwx------.  1 xxx xxx  65M Apr 15 12:00 pulse-shm-2601772043

Look's like it belongs to the sound system of pulse audio.

What happens if you create the file system:

mkdir /dev/shm
mount -osize=1gb shm /dev/shm -t tmpfs

Will chrome start then?
