Yes, RedHat 9 defaults to much less, 10,000 I think. I assumed it was the md default. Maybe a RedHat 9 issue. I just looked at the man page for md. It says "The default is 100,000.". I did upgrade to Kernel 2.4.28 a few weeks ago. I guess the default was changed in a newer version of md. My /etc/sysctl.conf has a date of Dec 12, 2003. So, whatever kernel I had over 1 year ago had a default of 10,000, or so. Anyway, it has helped some people in the past. :) I guess it depends on the kernel/md version. I guess a default of no limit would be nice. But no support for that, yet!

Are there even distros that have this set too low ?
