Hello, It appears that I am running out of file descriptors cuz i get the message: "Too many files open" I have tried increasing the soft limit, but I think its not sufficient. How do I increase the hard limit? Do I have to rebuild the kernel? If so, pls provide me the steps for the reconfig, with a comfortably higher number of FD.
