I sent out a quick query earlier, but got no reply...
I'm running a system with kernel version 1.2.11 and we are now regularly getting "file table full" errors. (Yes, there are tens of thousands of files on this system...)
Going through the kernel sources, in include/linux/fs.h I have found several constants (NR_OPEN, NR_INODE, NR_FILE) and have modified them to (I had hoped) increase the size of the file table.
The kernel _appears_ to compile fine, however, when I try to boot that kernel, immediately after the partition check I get a kernel panic: "Free list corrupt" and the system stops dead.
It's obvious that there is more that needs to be modified, but I am not a kernel hacker by any means, and am quite lost at how to proceed from here. Upgrading to a newer kernel is not an option on this system at the current time.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
