- A question for HP Kernal hackers:
-
- I am trying to modify several parameters in our HP-UX 8.07 kernal running on
- HP 9000 series 730 machines. Specifically, the parameters NPROC and MAXFILES.
- The procedure I have been following is:
-
- 1) make the changes in the #define statements of the conf.c file
- in /etc/conf
-
- so I have: #define NPROC (20+8*MAXUSERS+(NGCSP))*3
- #define MAXFILES 256
-
- 2) execute make -f config.mk in the same directory.
-
- The conf.o file gets rebuilt, as does the hp-ux kernal. However, when I
- examine the kernal using SAM after rebooting, I find that the nproc value
- still has the incorrect value. I was not able to locate the MAXFILES parameter
- within SAM (does anyone have a way of checking the value of this by reading
- the kernal?), but I think that also was not set.
-
- Can someone familiar with the way the kernal is built shed some light on
- this? Please reply by e-mail to lccha@nb.rockwell.com
-
- Thanks in advance
