if I have changed my /etc/security/limits.conf file to include these lines: mysql soft nofile 4096 mysql hard nofile 63536 and then done: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# su mysql [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]$ ulimit -n 8192 [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]$ ulimit -n 8192
does this new 8192 open file limit apply to the already-running mysqld process, which was started like so: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql & ? or will I need to restart the mysql server and/or machine to have the new open files limit take effect for the mysql server? am I correct that the open files limit placed on the mysql user will be the limit faced by the mysqld process, since the process is started with the --user=mysql option? thanks, -L
