I've had this "fork: ..." message happen when I had only around 300 processes running. /proc/sys/kernel/threads-max is the only relevant knob I've found, and it is set at 4095. Similarly, we could be out of file descriptors, but /proc/sys/fs/file-max (which presumably caps the number of open files?) is set at 8192; I'm sure the 300 processes didn't each have 25+ files open. Does anyone know how to increase the number of allowed processes? --Pete
