The maximum number of open files for the whole system can be tuned at
runtime using:
echo "4096" > /proc/sys/kernel/file-max
echo "12288" > /proc/sys/kernel/inode-max
This sets the number of open files to 4096
The number of open files per program is 256. If this is not enough for
your application, you need to use a patched kernel (see
ftp.suse.com:/pub/SuSE-Linux/suse_update/kernel/Informix) and recompile
the application with a redefined value of NR_OPEN.
A pre-patched kernel for large fds will be contained in SuSE Linux 6.0
