| |
In v2.0 kernels the maximum process limits could be edited in the limits.h file, with a re-compile it could be upped quickly. We migrated our Alphas to 2.2.0pre7ac4 and I can no longer find any information on how to up the max process limit. Is there a sysctl for this or is it done 'dynamically'?
If it is handled dynamically I would like to say that it does not work. The second I hit 512 processes nothing can fork. I just need to bump this up to around 2048, some information on how to do this would be very handy.
Thanks, and everything is looking very nice.
