Hi Brad, You are running out of file descriptors, type this: kes# sysctl -a | grep files kern.maxfiles: 20000 kern.maxfilesperproc: 18000 kern.openfiles: 5230 kes# limit -h cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize 1048576 kbytes stacksize 262144 kbytes coredumpsize unlimited memoryuse unlimited descriptors 18000 memorylocked unlimited maxproc 4115
You probably increased the number of tables in my.cnf and did not allocate enough descriptors for the process. use sysctl to increase the number of available descriptors.
