They are dynamically allocated.
On my system:

913 82 4096

913 open file structures
all but 82 in
Interesting. I just looked, it shows I have ~40 free open files left,
so maybe that's it.
What sort of side effects might arise from allowing 4x the number of
open files, if any?

Well, it obviously varies, but I just ran "lsof | wc -l" and it returned:

6335
I'll try running that next time I run into problems as well.

I don't have an answer just a similar experience. But I did discover
that it was over 100 nmbd samba files, discovered through use of ps,
that gave me the clue.
I never did discover what spawned all the nmbd processes. But they were
the source of the too many open files errors I believ
Firstly, I apologize for having no real details on this.
I'm running Debian Unstable, and seemingly randomly, I'll go to run a
program or save a file or what not, and I'll get an error to the
effect of "too many open files on system". In one case, I rebooted to
try and
_RDONLY) = -1 EMFILE (Too many open
files)
I am not sure these messages are the cause of the problem or just an
effect.
Any hints to look into this issue or solve it are welcome.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi,
before changing anything, i want to know what's wrong.
Unmounting my ntfs partitions has no effects (just a try to see).
I'm going to read linux/Documentation/sysctl/fs.txt and about
mke2fs ; if you know any means to diagnose the pb, let me know.

I'm not sure why you have so many files open, but yes, you can change
the limit at runtime by echoing a new number to the file
Hi,
It 's the third time my debian is complaining, just
after booting, with a "too many open files", creating
each time many files in my home directory I log to.
Searching in Google, some files in /proc/sys/fs enable
to change this behaviour.

I'm having problems with a "Too many open files" error.
I've increased the /proc/sys/fs/file-max to 10 and the count in
/proc/sys/fs/file-nr is no where near that.
Further googling tells me that there is also a "open files per process
limit".

How do I fix this error?
Thanks

Does anyone know where the limitation of this problem occurs and how to
correct it? Is this due to a kernel or nfsd hard define?
Thanks.

This exactly the problem I'm having. The ulimit is set to 24. But I cann't

Hi,
I'm getting this message very often in one of the Debian Linux
machines I work with, and I have no clue of where to start looking. It's
not coming from the kernel since it's not logged along other kernel

How can it be if before running it, there are only 192 open?

There are generally two possible errors:
You can have too many files open on your system (say you have lots of programs
that are opening a few files each)
or a single process (like apache) can open 256 files
Ricardo Kleemann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

This I know. Install the lsof package, and use lsof (ls open files).
It will give a listing of all the open files and who's using them.
This program gets installed in /usr/sbin, an
