Redhat 6.0 2.2.5-15 kernel sources have NR_OPEN defined as (1024*1024)
in fs.h. This appears to come from a file in kernel-2.2.5-15.src.rpm
called
fdset-2.2.4.diff. I cannot find this patch in any of the kernel sources
at LinuxHQ, 2.2.5 to 2.3.3. This patch makes it possible to open more
than
the present standard of 1024 file handles. I tried redefing NR_OPEN,
NR_FILE
and FD_SETSIZE to larger sizes in 2.2.6-2.2.9, but this broke portmap
and which broke nfs.

So by question is, is this a RedHat only patch. and will it appear in
later
releases of Redhat kernels? or any new kernel?

 Thanks for any help
