Hi, > Your value 256 for open_files_limit is too low. Set it at > least to several thousands. See: > http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/not-enough-file-handles.html
Thanks for the link, I already knew of it ;) It is low and I intend to raise it, but my operating system's ulimit is still 256 at the moment so I can't go above that yet (I am working ongetting it raised). However, even with the 236 connections opened, the number of Open_files is only 5, which is far less than the limit of 256. So, /which/ files are opened by mysqld if I don't see the value of Open_files increase?
