Follow on to #1839, the internal inode and file table sizes can now changed from /bootopts.
This allows a system to be configured to use more or less inodes (default 96) or open files (default 64) than normal. Each inode entry uses 80 bytes of kernel heap, while open files use an inode and a file entry (size 14+80).
Use
inode=andfile=in /bootopts, along withtask=to specify kernel resource sizes. It is recommended that inode= be larger than or equal to file=.meminfonow shows the amount of limited kernel data segment memory used for the TASK, INODE, FILE and BUFH (buffer headers) used, which allow for more specialized customization of ELKS for a particular use case.This screenshot shows ELKS running a standard configuration, with networking not running, 49k heap, 16k free, 64k buffer/buffer headers:
