The sysctl stuff should be enouth. Did you check that the values have really been raised ? The 'safe_mysqld' script I use has an option to raise the limit: /usr/pkg/bin/safe_mysqld --open-files-limit=256 Anyway the error code doesn't match a per-process limit but a system limit. This is why I would use ktrace to check what the error really is. -- Manuel Bouyer, LIP6, Universite Paris VI.
