           Summary: excessive usage of file "/dev/random", error message
                    "too many open files"
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_ssl
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I got the error "too many open files" and "too many open files in system" after 
some hours of load testing.

On SuSE 10.1 (PC Platform, 32Bit SMP), the most open file is "/dev/random", but 
in my SSL settings, I use the "builtin" random generator instead 
of "/dev/random".

currently, after 15 hours of stress tests (JMeter on 2 machines with 40 threads 
each), I got 91 httpd processes running, with 23040 open files in the whole 
system, and 21552 of them being "/dev/random" used by "httpd" (prefork)-process:

www:/proc/sys/fs # cat file-nr
23040   0       500000
www:/proc/sys/fs # ps ax|grep httpd|wc -l
91
www:/proc/sys/fs # lsof |grep random|grep httpd|wc -l
21552
www:/proc/sys/fs # rpm -q apache2
apache2-2.2.0-21.7
www:/proc/sys/fs #
