Hi,
I am in the process of evaluating Informix Dynamic Server but for that I
need to patch the kernel for >3000 file descriptors. I am running SuSE
6.0 international (non German) version.
I obtained the kernel 2.0.36 patch file for >3000 file descriptors per
process from SuSE's ftp site. I patched the kernel source with no
errors but when I try to compile the new kernel it fails with the
following error:
gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -V2.7.2.3 -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strength-reduce -pipe
-m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -c
-o init/main.o init/main.c
In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/types.h:16,
from init/main.c:17:
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/posix_types.h:47: `NR_OPEN' undeclared here
(not in a function)
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/posix_types.h:47: size of array `fds_bits'
has non-integer type
make: *** [init/main.o] Error 1
To perform the patch I used the following command from the
/usr/src/linux directory:
root@Seahorse:/usr/src/linux # cat ~/large-fd-2.0.36 | patch -p1 2> out
So, is the patch for a version different from the one shipped with the
international version of SuSE 6.0? Is there a *source code* patch that
will work?
Thanks,
Avi
