max number of processes and woody [thread from some time ago]
Hi all,
Some time ago there was a thread asking about the limit of ~300 processes allowed by
the kernel and no more. Actually, in 2.4 kernels, that is not necessarily imposed
by ulimit but by the kernel limit set in the /proc directory.
/proc/sys/kernel/threads-max
By default, this is set to 320. To fix the problem, just set this to some
larger value at startup. Like
echo 2048 > /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max
Hope this helps some people,
Adam
