[-- Attachment #1 --] That really depends on the version you're using. I seem to recall that it's linked to the number of user in the kernel config file of the compiled kernel in versions pre 4.5. and in 4.5 you set this maxuser number to 0 and it will set the number dynamicly on boot up. I the formula is 20 + 16 * maxusers. so if your maxusers is set to one you can only have 36 maxuim processes. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gabriel To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sent: Sunday, March 17, 2002 6:42 PM Subject: maximum number of processes IŽd like to know if there is any limitation about the number of processes that can be started on a freBSD/Intel machine and what is the thread model used by FRee BSD.
