Hi!

FYI, this paragraph from linux/Documentation/proc.txt is wrong.

   The three values in file-nr denote the number of allocated file
   handles, the number of used file handles, and the maximum number of
   file handles. When the allocated file handles come close to the
   maximum, but the number of actually used ones is far behind, you've
   encountered a peak in your usage of file handles and you don't need
   to increase the maximum.

The second number is not the number of used file handles, but the number
of currently unused filehandles from all currently allocated filehandles
(first number).

Regards,

Patrik
