Hi, Does anyone know what the story is for file-descriptor limits on Linux ?
I read in http://www.xenoclast.org/doc/benchmark/HTTP-benchmarking-HOWTO/node7.html that root needs to set /proc/sys/fs/file-max to a high value in order that "ulimit -n NNNN" will work. However, on a Debian Woody box (2.4 kernel), this doesn't seem to be necessary. As root, I can set the value as high as I want (up to about 63000) regardless of the value in /proc/sys/fs/file-max. Also, these are per-process limits. What is the overall machine limit - assuming there is one ? These questions are related to MySQL, SQL, etc. Honest. == Martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
