Hi, I was wondering if there is a maximum number of bytes a read system call services. I see that when I request for a huge number of bytes say 10 million bytes ( read(fd, buffer, 10000000)) it does not read the requested number of bytes even though the file I am reading is greater than the request. I executed on 3 different systems and saw that the maximum number of bytes returned were 132880, 136920, 6080. Where in the kernel is this max value stored.
