[lug] /proc/sys/fs/inode-max missing?

[Harris, James]

Ask first think second.  I just checked 7.2 and it also doesn't have it...
So I guess the big difference here is between 7.0 which uses kernel series
2.2.x and 7.1 and 7.2 which use 2.4.x... But 2.4's sysctl kernel docs say
that this file should exist... So I'm still lost.  Google's not turning up
anything useful yet.

Thanks

Howdy all --

I suspect that a file server I have may be running out available inodes.  I
went to adjust this and found that under /proc/sys/fs the file "inode-max"
is missing.  I've checked another system with a similar build and it is also
missing the file, so I suspect this may be a Redhat version thing.  Both
systems are RH 7.1.  I doubt it is a kernel version thing since one system
is 2.4.3 and the other is 2.4.9 -- stock RH provided kernels.

I'm now confused.  I have checked several RH systems and all 7.0 systems
have the file, while none of my 7.1 systems have it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks a bunch!
Jim
