Can anybody help me with this question ?
On our Storage server in Stratos Datacenter we are having some issues where nfsuser user is holding hundred of processes which is degrading the performance of server. So we have a requirement to limit its maximum processes. Please set its maximum process limits as below:

a. soft limit = 73

b. hard_limit = 93

I have followed the below mentioned process for this question but the task still got failed.
