This problem isn't related to cdrecord or mkisofs but since the users of both are familiar with ISO files I thought maybe somebody would be able to help.
I am using Red Hat 7.3 and Red Hat 8.0 with the latest patches on several servers and have created a variety of ISO files using mkisofs. All the ISO files are good and I am able to mount and umount each of them (once mounted I am able to read and access all the files contained in them) using the loop device. The problem I am experiencing is that after a certain number of mounts I get the error message "fork: Resource temporarily unavailable" on the command line. After much trouble shooting I realized that number of mounts/umount sequences I am limited to is the max number of processes for my user id. I confirmed this by using the "ulimit -u" command to lower my process limit. It appears the mount command is leaving someting in some sort of process table in kernel memory (nothing shows in ps or top or in /proc/#### as being left behind). Has anybody any sort of experience with this at all? Any suggestions? Brian __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
