I was suffering from the file limit when too many sendmails were
delivering queued mail. I just accidentally deleted kernel-source-2.0.27,
so I can't easily find the hack, but I think I found a similar place to
hack it in 2.0.30:
In /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30/include/linux/ , here's my changed
fs.h (excerpted):
/* And dynamically-tunable limits and defaults: */
extern int max_inodes, nr_inodes;
extern int max_files, nr_files;
#define NR_INODE 98304 /* this should be bigger than NR_FILE */
#define NR_FILE 32768 /* this can well be larger on a larger system */
This was 3072 and 1024, respectively. Kernel memory usage hasn't changed
anything drastically, and I've certainly done away with those pesky
errors.
This may or may not have anything to do with what you're experiencing,
though.
