Answer to 2nd ques is : no of processes which can open the same file is limited by the size of kernal file table. kernal file table contains a pointer to inode and current byte index for every opened file in the system.
however,if two processes have parent child relationship or they are sharing a file ,then limit is even more because for same file, they have different process file table entries pointing to same kernal file table entry . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
