- The value of "maxusers" that you used to configue your kernel is not
- saved, but is used by param.c [where you built your kernel] to
- initialize some common tuning parameters.
-
- The easiest way to back-calculate maxusers, assuming you did not edit
- param.c or patch the kernel, would be to check "nproc": subtract ten,
- divide by sixteen. Thus, common values are:
-
- nproc MAXUSERS
- 74 4
- 138 8
- 266 16
- 522 32
- 1034 64
- 2058 128
