@@ -728,36 +728,26 @@ allocated file handles come close to the maximum, but the number of actually
used ones is far behind, you've encountered a peak in your usage of file
handles and you don't need to increase the maximum.
inode-state, inode-nr and inode-max
-----------------------------------
As with file handles, the kernel allocates the inode structures dynamically,
but can't free them yet.
The value in inode-max denotes the maximum number of inode handlers. This
value should be 3 to 4 times larger than the value in file-max, since stdin,
stdout, and network sockets also need an inode struct to handle them. If you
regularly run out of inodes, you should increase this value.
inode-state and inode-nr
------------------------
The file inode-nr contains the first two items from inode-state, so we'll skip
to that file...
inode-state contains t
hree actual numbers and four
dummy values. The numbers
are nr_inodes
, nr_free_inodes, and preshrink
(in order of appearance).
inode-state contains t
wo actual numbers and five
dummy values. The numbers
are nr_inodes
and nr_free_inodes
(in order of appearance).
nr_inodes
~~~~~~~~~
Denotes the number of inodes the system has allocated. This
can be slightly
more than inode-max because Linux allocates them one pageful at a time
.
Denotes the number of inodes the system has allocated. This
number will
grow and shrink dynamically
.
nr_free_inodes
--------------
Represents the number of free inodes and preshrink is nonzero when nr_inodes
is greater than inode-max and the system needs to prune the inode list instead
of allocating more.
Represents the number of free inodes. Ie. The number of inuse inodes is
(nr_inodes - nr_free_inodes).
