A few days back the load increased on our database server to the point where it could not get enough file handles. This causes the backends to crash, get restarted only to crash again, on and on.
We fixed it by bumping kern.maxfiles, but was just wondering if this is a scenario that PostgreSQL should handle more gracefully?
We certainly go great lengths to prevent this problem ... what version is this?
7.4.6
