I would like to know whether there is any mechanisms in linux kernel to prevent fork bombs.

Hi there to all.

Hi,

void **sys_call_table;

unsigned long **find_sys_call_table(void) {

Hi,

I was wondering how to improve the situation on a system
which performs a lot of disk writes. It's a (graphing)
monitoring system and it is constantly updating data on
disk as per the information gathered from the other nodes,
to the extent that the disk usage on this system is causing
latencies.

I was thinking that, if data was to sit in memory for, say,

Hi,

Hi,

"Warning: unable to open an initial console"
