fd.file-max against inode

Linux and Unix-Like Ubuntu

Hi,

If inodes need to be 3-4 times greater than fd.file-max. Can you modify the current inode in the filesystem? Can you modify it on the fly? Or only in the creation of FS.

I'm using redhat ent 4.

Thank you for any comment you may add.

depends on your filesystem
U can use mkfs.ext3's -N Parameter to set the number of inodes. But i dont think there is a way to do it on the fly.
