Change the size of that files System by issuing the following command:
mount -t tmpfs shmfs -o size=2g /dev/shm
The shared memory file system should be big enough to accommodate the MEMORY_TARGET and MEMORY_MAX_TARGET values, else Oracle will throw the ORA-00845 error.
Note: While changing something with the mount command, the changes are not permanent.
To make the change persistent, edit your /etc/fstab file
