Hi, Frank,
First of all, I recompiled & installed 2.0.34 last night. That was before I
got your mail. What I did was editing /usr/src/linux/include/linux/fs.h and I
replaced
#define NR_OPEN 256
with
#define NR_OPEN 512.
Recompiled and installed, and everything works just fine, but a 'cat
/proc/sys/kernel/file-max' gives me 1024. Don't know why... Maybe somebody can
make some light in all this... Thanks, anyway!
