Could i ask how your login class (/etc/login.conf) for mysql looks like? And maybe your [mysqld_safe] entry in/etc/my.cnf? I already modified my kern.maxfiles in /etc/sysctl.conf to kern.maxfiles=10000 and in my own /etc/login.conf class i have set the follwing values: mysql:\ :datasize=infinity:\ :maxproc=infinity:\ :openfiles-cur=2048:\ :openfiles-max=8192:\
