Reply-Path: We are running into a problem with the lockf (3) function in Ultrix 1.2. We have one application that uses many locks, and we have reached the system limit. My question is simple: can we increase this limit, and if so, how? The application runs on a Microvax II running Ultrix 1.2A. We are in the process of upgrading things to Ultrix 2.0, although it may be a while before this machine gets upgraded. We do not have source. Thanks for any help...

We do not have source. Sorry, but my guess is that you are out of luck. If you have hit a limit, it is a limit that is INSIDE the kernel. My guess is that the only solution is to recompile the kernel with a bigger limit, which you cannot do because you don't have source.
