I was setting up local_unbound (the built-in instance of unbound in FreeBSD 10.x). However, I had a conf file that I had a much more customized from a previous install of the stock unbound I had on earlier box.

When I tried to transplant the more elaborate conf and have local_unbound run it, I got the following errors:

[1437336832] unbound[69115:0] warning: too many file descriptors requested. The 
builtin mini-event cannot handle more than 1024. Config for less fds or compile 
with libevent
[1437336832] unbound[69115:0] warning: continuing with less udp ports: 211
[1437336832] unbound[69115:0] debug: switching log to syslog

I bit-by-bit added on section at a time to unbound.conf until I found the offender was this entry:

  # number of threads to create. 1 disables threading. This should equal the 
number
  # of CPU cores in the machine. Our example machine has 4 CPU cores.
  num-threads: 4

Why would threading cause these errors? What is the default setting when the entry is commented out?


TIA
