[comp.unix.microport] How do I up the ulimit?

mike@cs.keele.ac.uk (Michael A. Green) (09/19/89)

Hi,
	I remember someone explaining how to increase ulimit on V/AT,
	some time ago.

	I run V/AT 2.4 with the ulimit set at 1.2M (the distributed setting)

	I need to have some files larger than this.

	Could someone please tell me how?, or if you have a copy
	of the original posting please e-mail it to me.

	Thanks,

	--Mike

I don't have SVAT up any more, but as I recall you need to use
patch on something named .ulimit or ulpatch or .ulpatch:
use patch on the kernel with these arguments and see
if you get a reasonable value.  Then patch the kernel;
you might want to make a shell script with these and clock
patches, etc., if you rebuild your kernel from time to time.

(If you're really in trouble I might be able to dig it
out of an old backup tape but it'll take a long time.)
