Public bug reported: I was playing with /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max and found that I could't raise it above 32768. I've filled this bug about it in the kernel's bug tracker: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13090
Turns out this is due to CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is being set to 0. Is this on purpose? Same is true for the mainline kernels which are now provided by Ubuntu. % cat /proc/version Linux version 2.6.29-02062901-generic (r...@zinc) (gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #02062901 SMP Fri Apr 3 14:17:44 UTC 2009 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 is set? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
