tmpfs size is returning old value after reboot

On Redhat EL 6 /dev/shm is returning the old value even if it is specified in the fstab. This is because tmpfs is never remounted during the boot process. Resolution for this is simply adding remount command to /etc/rc.local file.
eg: mount -o remount,size=5G /dev/shm
