[ale] bizarre error

Good point. Looking in fs.txt which came in the kernel source documentation
specifies two interesting values...inode-max and file-max. They should be
located in /proc/sys/fs, but I only see file-max there right now. Although
the doc says you should get errors regarding running out of filehandles, I'm
gonna compare the num of files on my system to that number. I'll follow up
in a bit...
Thanks for the help.
John

Have you got a bunch of files? Might be out of inodes??

Until later: Geoffrey esoteric at 3times25.net
I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
