> Will it keep these settings after a reboot?

Nope.  You need to either add a line to one of your system start-up
scripts to set the values on each reboot, or you need to recompile the
kernel with a new built in value.  If you go the latter route, you need
to edit the file include/linux/fs.h in the linux sources and change the
line
  #define NR_FILE 8192
to have 32768 rather than 8192 (or whatever value you find to be
appropriate, of course!).  Rebuild the kernel and booting that new
kernel will have a default max number of files of 32768.

Cheers,
Martin
