On a Linux 2.4.21 system running snort with a very large organization (30,000 +) workstations I am seeing a "too many files" mesage from ext3 which results in snort dying and rolling our of memory. Is there a way to specifiy a larger number of inode entries dynamically when creating an Ext3 file system which gets around this limitation. In theory, a file system should not create a limitation on how many files it can contain, but I understand that inode base FS's have this limitation.
Also, I have discovered that I am blocked from posting to LKML from devicelogics.com and am using an alternate email account. What's up, did something chage are are we blocking folks from posting, or is ECN causing problems.
Thanks
