RHEL, RHEL 6.x question

I noticed I needed to increase my nproc on RHEL 6.2 in applications where I did not have to increase nproc on RHEL 5.x.

Does the creation of RHEL 6 threads count against the max number of nproc

Hi,

It is not that you'd not needed to increase nproc. Bu  some old versions of 2.6 libs were broken someiimes they did not apply limts and in some other cases there were not a granular process distribution and now they are handled differently with the newer kernel. Another reason is  more systems are 64-bit the probablity of them using larger memory and disk  are imminent hence the minimum values are updateed according to average avaliable hardware.

Cheers,
K.
