Hi,
one of our QNX4 systems has banged against a certain limit of entries
in /dev (see my posting “/dev/usb does not show up”). Which ressource
should be increased to expand that limit (seems to be 80)? Any possibly
undocumented option of PROC32? Please advice!
Regards from Hamburg

Should be the ‘-n’ option to Dev (I think default is 64, so if you have
80 it’s probably already being set in your boot image, so try increasing
it even more) …

Other solution (I think the max is 100) is to start another Dev session and
point all Dev drivers to it.

thanks John, that was the solution. I did not identify the -n option
because of the explanation in helpviewer:
-n max_devices
The maximum number of terminal devices to support (default is 64).
^^^^^^^^

thanks Mario. I suspect, that this would result in two device directories
(-N /dev and -N /devx)? There was a news thread about this long ago, but
I could not find it again.
