Subject: Questions on file descriptors and squid
Good day,
I have a pc which I am going to turn into one of
our siblings proxy servers. The squid book says, the
file descriptor values should not go below 1024.
Qestion1: Do you know how do freebsd 4.10 sets its
default(fresh install) file descriptor value? For
example, here are the components of the workstation I
am installing squid into.
Pentium III 600 MHz
64 MB SD RAM
15 GB hard disk
When I run 'sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc' this value
appeared:
kern.maxfilesperproc: 957
so, it already violates the squids recommended
settings which should be not less than 1024 file
descriptor(Squid: The Definitive Guide -Duane
Wessels).
On the other hand, another workstation of mine with
the following components...
256 DDR PC333
Athlon XP 2000
80 GB seagate harddisk
...shows its file descriptor as
beebopsysctl kern.maxfilesperproc
kern.maxfilesperproc: 3636
Qestion2: both of the kern.maxfiles and
kern.maxfilesperproc's values are changeable and so,
how will I know what is the maximum value I can set
them to(with regards to my hardware setup)?
All these variables depend on maxusers option in your kernel config
file. Look at /usr/src/sys/kern/subr_param.c to find how they are
calculated.
