Hello fellow VPSers,
after recent upgrade to Debian Buster, pihole stopped working and from the
output of diagnostics `pihole -d` I can see the error:
*** [ DIAGNOSING ]: contents of /dev/shm
/dev/shm does not exist.
ls: cannot access '/dev/shm': Too many levels of symbolic links
Which is because of that:
trendy@vps:[~]$ls -la /dev/shm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Ιουν 29 04:49 /dev/shm -> /run/shm
trendy@vps:[~]$ls -la /run/shm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Ιουλ 21 11:18 /run/shm -> /dev/shm
I believe this is not normal; does anyone know where they should point to?
Thank you,

No idea what happened here, but when I look at /dev/shm on a newly
created VPS, it's mounted as tmpfs. /run/shm is a symlink to /dev/shm
just like on your VPS. So here's what you could try:
rm /dev/shm
mkdir /dev/shm
reboot

Thank you Jakube!
I am also not sure how did it happen, but after your recommendations it's
working properly now.
Have a good day!
