vmunix: kthread: table is full

what could be the cause??

Looks like the process table is full. Is there a broken shell script ?. What is "nproc" ?

hi

thanks for the replay

nproc is 276.

which are the other parameters i should takecare while incressing the value of nproc

[Bill Hassell]

nproc is extremely small, which means that nfile is probably too small, perhaps others -- but you need to know the maximum number of users that will login (and which method such as ssh, telnet, rlogin, ftp), the number or non-session network connections (such as web pages, database interconnects, etc), number of threads needed (ie, Java code) and so on.

make it atleast 2048 for an oracle database server .. What kind of server is this ?
