Hi,
I'm not an experienced programmer nor a kernel hacker so
I thought I should ask all you gurus before I proceed,
or if I should't proceed at all ;)
SITUATION:
My compile session stops when setting the conf-spawn to
1000 (after applying the big-todo and big-concurrency
patches, successfully.)
qmail compiles when the conf-spawn is 509 or below since
my linux kernel 2.2.17 has a "hidden FD_SET() of 1024"
as the compile time error msg had explained.
I got curious and was poking around with my qmail setup,
and a simple 'grep -r FD_SET' into the kernel sources gave
me (amongst many similar) a line in:
/usr/src/linux-2.2.17/include/linux/posix_types.h
which said:
#define __FD_SETSIZE 1024
I know that I shouldn't be screwing with kernels, but
I was just curious if this was safe/the right place to
change, or if I could change the 1024 to say 2048 (or
something appropriate?) and recompile the kernel and
also be safe to run everything.
heck, maybe this isnt safe/the right place/the only
place to change, i have no idea.
Could any of you shed some light on this?
Or a simple "Stop screwing with kernels" will do and
I'll stop playing with myself, although all of this is
very tempting ;)
I apologize if I'm totally off, or if I'm asking the
wrong list.
Thanks in advance,
jamie
