Sorry. Ive seen that the limit per user is about of 1024 file descriptor (FD) opened simultaneously (in fact, 'ulimit -n' gives 1024) while amavis user (whos running amavis-milter) opens about 500 FD.. So is not this limit to be overcomed.
But is the maximum number of opened FD that is overcomed. So Ive executed echo 498073 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max amavis-milter logs always still points me out that there are thread_create errors.. so Ive watch how many files has opened 'amavis' user: # lsof -u amavis | wc -l 108663 And I guess that is the amavis user limit that cause the errors.. Now I have raised amavis to 304800 in /etc/security/limits.conf.. At the moment, the errors was disappeared.. I will wait to see the progress... If anybody have some hints.. it will be wellcomed! rocsca > -----Messaggio originale----- > Da: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Per conto > di Rocco Scappatura > Inviato: giovedì 26 ottobre 2006 18.05 > A: Stephane Lentz > Cc: amavis-user@lists.sourceforge.net; Mark Martinec > Oggetto: [AMaViS-user] R: R: Error amavis-milter > > Thanks Stephane, > > But I don't understand how I have to do increase the number > of FD that the user 'amavis' can open.. > > Ive tried to modify the /etc/security/limits.conf > > Adding the following line: > > amavis hard nofile 102400 > > Do I have restart system so that the changes take effect? > > Do I have to modify the file: > > /proc/sys/fs/file-max ? > > Please any your hint is welcome! > > rocsca > > > -----Messaggio originale----- > > Da: Stephane Lentz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Inviato: giovedì 26 ottobre 2006 14.09 > > A: Rocco Scappatura > > Cc: Mark Martinec; amavis-user@lists.sourceforge.net > > Oggetto: Re: [AMaViS-user] R: Error amavis-milter > > > > On Thu, Oct 26, 2006 at 12:54:22PM +0200, Rocco Scappatura wrote: > > > > > Amavisd-new goes in error after a few time that it starts.. > > > > > > > > > > It seems to me amavis-milter..
