Hi, Yes thats right. To increase the maximum number of file descriptors add/edit the line in /etc/security/limits.conf:
* - nofile 8192 I've set the amount to 8192 (8*1024). I'm monitoring the file descriptors of my varnish. Max was 2500.

After that I had the following hypothesis I want to check with you. When Varnish hits the _max_open_file limit it starts to put servers in unhealthy state due to it not being able to open network sockets since network sockets are also open files. Is that a correct assumption? regards, Erwin _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://www.varnish-cache.org/lists/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
