You may be on the right track with famd.
But you may want to increase the value contained here:
/proc/sys/fs/file-max
Cat the file first to see the vaule. Then perform an
echo 10000000 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
I was told that the value which can go into this file can go upwards of
4 billion.
Gees, imagine a system with that many open files suddenly crashing and
having to replay that journal.
Yes, the ulimit thing seems like another value which needs to be
stretched when building out the LTSP system. I'm glad you mentioned
these issues. I should look at the limits on # of files and # of
processes on my box too.
I've seen some mention of adding some of these values to the paramaters
passed to the kernel at boot time.
Good luck! The other day I was getting "Out of Memory Errors". It was
some combination of the hard drive not being optimized (must have lost
DMA after a power surge) and then virtual memory wasn't working right
after that.

What happens is logins stall and new programs stall.
Was getting errors in syslog from famd saying it is out of file handles.

restarting famd makes thing resume.
I added to the startup of famd
ulimit -n 4096
So far did not any more errors logged but still have problems.
I stopped famd and it runs OK but would prefer to run famd if possible.
Any ideas?
John
