Limit process per jail

[timipl]

Hello,

It's possible to limit the amount of processes per jail in FreeBSD 8.2 AMD 64 Patch 9. User kostjn made a patch for FreeBSD 7 (http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=3438), but now it's not possible to download it and it is for an old FreeBSD version.

Maybe somebody knows how to limit jails, for example to 4000 processes?

Best regards,

You should look at RCTL, which appeared in FreeBSD 9.0. Specifically, you can set maxproc on a per jail basis, along with other constraints. Remember to adjust the relevant MIBs:

$ sysctl -a | grep maxproc
kern.maxproc: 6164
kern.maxprocperuid: 5547
