Subject: MAX_ARG_PAGES has no effect?
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 20:18:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4314F761.2050908@kundor.org> (raw)
The other day I was running a grep on a big directory tree and got a
"Argument list too long" error. Since I'd like to have this work
without messing with find and xargs each time, I went into
include/linux/binfmts.h and changed
#define MAX_ARG_PAGES 32
to
#define MAX_ARG_PAGES 64
I recompiled and installed the kernel, but there's no change (getconf
ARG_MAX still gives 131072.) What am I missing?
I am running 2.6.13 on amd64.
Thanks,
Nick Matteo
