According to "Linux Programming" by Kurt Wall... /proc/sys/fs... file-max =3D The maximum number of file handles the kernel will allocate. file-nr =3D The number of allocated file handles, the number of used file= =20 handels, and the maximum number of file handles. inode-max =3D The maximum number of of inode handlers. inode-nr =3D The number of allocated inodes and the number of free inodes.
