If I understand this right, the file-max is a limit for all file handles
on the system. I don't think I am reaching that limit:
At this moment:
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
33360 0 309816
(I take that to mean I am using about 1/10th the number of possible open
file handles).
I suspect that the ulimit setting of 1024 open files, for a user, may be
the limiting factor here (just from googling around a bit). If I see
this problem recur I may bump that up to 2048 in limits.conf.
I am not sure exactly how famd is supposed to work here. It looks like
famd, run via xinet, will run as the logged in user (when they launch
Konqueror, for instance). If another user launches Konquerer, I see
famd's user change to that user in the process list--I guess it is still
keeping all the files open (for all other fam clients as well), and that
may be how it is reaching the 1024 limit. (maybe?) Since the user is
"changing" I would have to up the limits across the board.
Thanks for your help.

I have started to see a problem with famd reporting "too many open

Running LTSP 4.1, on a Mandrake 10.1 system.
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
309816
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
I'm pretty sure you can put a value in there like this...
echo 5000000 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
