You might want to look at ulimit:
ulimit -a -- to see some limits.
You can also adjust them . See "bash(1)" -Section on
it says: open files 1024 far lower than /proc/sys/fs/file-max's 8192 ulimit. that part is above my learning-skill's:-[ mvh... Morten Christensen still missing a way to avoid a complete reinstall
I believe that you can modify the maximum number of open files by looking at files in the /proc file system. ( I didn't look at any docs, I'm just going from memory here...I did try this on my system and it appears to work the way I expected.)
To see the maximum number of files type in: # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 8192
My system reports 8192. I think you can change this number by login in as root, and doing some like this:
# echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
I tried this advice.
now a mount-attempt gives this answer:
/root/bin/mount: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
And the new file-max disappears after a reboot.
A really nasty "blue screen of dead" just in a black console:-[
