So here a few proposals: Proposal 1: - remove fd-hard-limit as it was a confusing mistake in the first place - exit with a configuration error when global maxconn is not set - put global maxconn in all example configurations, encourage Debian/RH to do the same - document accordingly Proposal 2: - keep fd-hard-limit - exit with a configuration error when fd-hard-limit needs to guess 1M - put fd-hard-limit in all example configurations, encourage Debian/RH to do the same - document accordingly Otherwise the next bug report will be that haproxy OOM's (in production and only when encountering load) by default with systems with less than 16 GB of RAM. The same bug reporter just needs a VM with 8 GB RAM or less. Sometimes the hard choices need to be up to the user. I believe this is some of those times. cheers lukas
