AW: file descriptors and max-clients-per-query

2009-05-27 Thread Philippe Maechler
Thanks for the feedback How many sockets are open when you see this message? Normally the socket() call shouldn't fail even if named uses many sockets (it will fail anyway, but the failure mode is normally different), so it's very odd to see the above message. As Jeremy suggested we

Settings for File Descriptors

2009-03-06 Thread Hayward, Bruce
Hi I am trying to understand file descriptors with bind in mind, and what they should be set at in conjunction with the OS. We are running 9.5.1 P1 on Solaris 10 (patched up), which is basically all that is on each server. Some questions: 1) Is there a recommended setting (number of FDs

the too many open file descriptors problem is 9.4.2-P2 (this doesn't mean you can safely use the others; they are vulnerable to the so-called 'Kaminsky' caching poisoning attacks). Regarding 9.4.2-P2, I'd strongly recommend to upgrade to 9.4.3-P1. 9.4.2-P2 has a fundamental performance problem due
