In any case, you need to increase > the "maxusers" parameter in your kernel config file. But if I do df -ik, the .proc inode usage seems to correlate with number of processes from ps -ax. Is this so, and is the percentage inode usage displayed a meaningful indicator of whether you need to increase "maxusers", or should one deduce that by other means? -- Graeme Tait - Echidna To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
