I changed the filename to "passwd2" because I wasn't sure what impact this would have on my /etc/passwd file.
The dtrace script has hopefully no impact in the target file.

Was I supposed to run fake_inode.d from within /etc?
From anywhere you like.

I created fake_inode.d and passwd2 inside /data, and ran the script from there. It has been saying this for a while:
This is the expected output. You should leave the script running for the inode renumbering hack to persist.
As Bartus11 already stated, just use another terminal to experiment with you program expecting a large inode number.
Hi,
If inodes need to be 3-4 times greater than fd.file-max. Can you modify the current inode in the filesystem? Can you modify it on the fly? Or only in the creation of FS.
I'm using redhat ent 4.
Thank you for any comment you may add. (1 Reply)

pridist.d
pridist.d(1m) USER COMMANDS pridist.d(1m)NAME
pridist.d - process priority distribution. Uses DTrace.
SYNOPSIS
pridist.d
DESCRIPTION
This is a simple DTrace script that samples at 1000 Hz which process is on the CPUs, and what the priority is. A distribution plot is
printed.
With priorities, the higher the priority the better chance the process (actually, thread) has of being scheduled.
This idea came from the script /usr/demo/dtrace/profpri.d, which produces similar output for one particular PID.
Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.
EXAMPLES
This samples until Ctrl-C is hit.
# pridist.d
FIELDS
CMD process name
PID process ID
value process priority
count number of samples of at least this priority
BASED ON
/usr/demo/dtrace/profpri.d
DOCUMENTATION
DTrace Guide "profile Provider" chapter (docs.sun.com)
See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver-
bose descriptions explaining the output.
EXIT
pridist.d will sample until Ctrl-C is hit.
