It looks like you posted this a few days back. If you're still having this
problem, here are some things to try:
I believe that you can modify the maximum number of open files by looking at
files in the /proc file system. ( I didn't look at any docs, I'm just going
from memory here...I did try this on my system and it appears to work the
way I expected.)
To see the maximum number of files type in:
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
8192
My system reports 8192. I think you can change this number by login in as
root, and doing some like this:
# echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
I checked to see if my entry was accepted by re-running the first command.
This time I got back '16384', so it looks like it worked. I don't have an
easy way to test this limit on my system...... I can't image that you would
ever really need that many files open at once, but I'm no expert...
You can see what files are open by using the 'lsof' (LiSt Open Files)
command:
# lsof
You may need to install it youself. (rpm -ivh lsof-x.xx.rpm)
If this doesn't help, you may want to check your installation. I'm
suggesting this because what you have described sound kinda weird, and it
never hurts to verify the integrity of your system. You can easily check
the installed packages by running "rpm -Va" (this will (V)erify (a)ll of
the packages on your system.) Pull up the rpm man page for help on
interpreting the output.
