| |
The other day I was running a grep on a big directory tree and got a "Argument list too long" error. Since I'd like to have this work without messing with find and xargs each time, I went into include/linux/binfmts.h and changed
#define MAX_ARG_PAGES 32
to
#define MAX_ARG_PAGES 64
I recompiled and installed the kernel, but there's no change (getconf ARG_MAX still gives 131072.) What am I missing?
I am running 2.6.13 on amd64.
