Jul 9, 2016 at 7:16 comment added Ash Well I think I need to recompile my kernel. Already I have change values directly in to this file, binfmts.h. But that did not work. Now I guess there is some problem in my proceddure. Do you know how it successfully recompile it? I am using a work station with 32G of RAM

Fixed capitalization; restored original wording; improved formatting and punctuation.
Jul 9, 2016 at 4:36 comment added clk Try changing the loop to foreach f (./*) instead of foreach f (ls *).

Jul 9, 2016 at 3:16 comment added michas What is the command you typed? It probably contained something like ls * which will expand to all the files in your directory. If you have a lot of those files, the resulting command line is too long to process.
