+Historically, the three values in file-nr denoted the number of
|
|
|
+allocated file handles, the number of allocated but unused file
|
|
|
+handles, and the maximum number of file handles. Linux 2.6 always
|
|
|
+reports 0 as the number of free file handles -- this is not an
|
|
|
+error, it just means that the number of allocated file handles
|
|
|
+exactly matches the number of used file handles.

+Attempts to allocate more file descriptors than file-max are
|
|
|
+reported with printk, look for "VFS: file-max limit <number>
|
|
|
+reached".
