Re: unable to create native thread



What kernel version are you using?

2.2.x has a limit of around 512 threads total for the system, and roughly
256 max for each user (512/2).

To change edit include/linux/tasks.h

Change NR_TASKS and MAX_TASKS_PER_USER appropriately. Then recompile and
install your kernel. Do a search on google for the 'volcano' benchmarks. IIRC
they have a section on how to tune linux for that type of load.
