Kernel messages about exceeding system limits
There are cases when the system kernel will advise you
that system limits are being exceeded.
These messages appear on your console.
Some of the messages are advisory only, but others precede a system panic
in which case additional diagnostic messages are printed,
requiring you to reboot.
If you encounter any of the messages listed in the following table,
refer to the associated tunable parameter for additional information.
