Subject: /proc/sys/fs/file-max broken in 2.4.22-pre5
Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2003 15:31:54 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200307132231.h6DMVs916407@athlon.cichlid.com> (raw)
Setting /proc/sys/fs/file-max to 60000 results in a max of 1024 file
handles. In 2.4.21-rc7-ac1 and random earlier kernels this works as expected.

#include <unistd.h>
main() {
int i = 0;

getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &r);
r.rlim_cur = 50000;
setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &r);
while(1) {
if(fopen("/tmp/file-max-test", "w") == 0) {
perror("");
break;
}
i++;
}
printf("opened %d files\n", i);
}
