Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
>From /etc/sysctl.conf: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
# Allow for more PIDs (cool factor!); may break some programs |
| 6 |
#kernel.pid_max = 999999 |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I though it may be neat to have a bigger pid pool, So I edited the file to |
| 9 |
change the value to 99999 and run: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
# sysctl -p |
| 12 |
error: "Invalid argument" setting key "kernel.pid_max" |
| 13 |
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max |
| 14 |
32768 |
| 15 |
# echo "99999" > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max |
| 16 |
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument |
| 17 |
# echo 99999 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max |
| 18 |
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument |
| 19 |
# sysctl -w kernel.pid_max="99999" |
| 20 |
error: "Invalid argument" setting key "kernel.pid_max" |
| 21 |
# sysctl -w kernel.pid_max=99999 |
| 22 |
error: "Invalid argument" setting key "kernel.pid_max" |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
How do you get this to work? I do have sysctl support in the kernel: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
# cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep SYSCTL |
| 27 |
CONFIG_SYSCTL=y |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Also, assuming you can help me get this sorted does anyone know which programs |
| 30 |
this may break? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Thanks for consideration, |
| 33 |
