"Too many open files" does mean that there too many datafiles opened by each process
and therefore it maybe quiet normal if 170 processes open more files than 200 (in a
database there can be much files opened by just one user/process).
You can fix it by changing the NR_OPEN and OPEN_MAX parameter in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/limits.h. But I have been adviced to do not - may, I have
done it and it seems to work.
Try to reboot every day or every second day (that kills also a lot of sleeping
processes).
The second problem... I don't know.
