Borrowing a little advice from the linux-kernel archive:
% cd /proc/sys/kernel/
% cat file-max file-nr inode-max inode-nr
1024 (max # of openable files in system)
1080 (# of actual opened files)
3072 (max # of openable inodes in system)
3072 2277 (# of actual opened inodes)
Now, I don't know exactly what this stuff is, but if the kernel list types
aren't lying, then it would seem I've found my problem -- more opened files
then are allowed. I'm not sure how the second number even got to the point
where it exceeded the first, but I would assume that's the trouble.
So, is the solution now to up those numbers? The kernel guys think I
should just echo a new var into "file-max" and "inode-max" to up the number
of openable files. Sounds a little non-standard, but hey...
In the meantime, any advice on getting lsof working? I would like to see
what is actually opening all these files, even if I up the number.
