hello,all.now i'm completely confused with the meaning of some system limits on kernel 2.4.3.there are three main limits that i concern:NR_OPEN,NR_FILE,and OPEN_MAX.i didn't find NR_INODE anywhere.is that due to the change of the allocation mechanism of inodes?in limits.h of the source file of kernel 2.4.3,NR_OPEN and OPEN_MAX are 1024 and 256 respectively. but in fs.h,NR_OPEN is defined to be 1024*1024,and NR_FILE is 8192.what's the meaning of these limits?which will work on the whole system?which work towards a single user or process? besides,what's the relationship between these limits and file file-max,threads-max under directory /proc?it is refered in many papers that performance can be improved by resetting these values. but what's their meaning and how they make effect?can anyone give me a clear explaination? regards james - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
