You can use command ulimit -a, there you can check the limit for a process.

Thanks, Naveen

Ulimit gives 1024 as open file limit. In struct task_struct it has a member called struct files_struct *files;

I tried checking for this member and the limit however I am  not able to decide correctly why the limit is 1024.  Also, is there any distinction between 32 bit and 64 bit systems for this limit?

My 64-bit system reports 1024 as well. I have no troubles compiling kernels. -- Dave Hylands Shuswap, BC, Canada http://www.davehylands.com
