I am using squid NOVM on my freebsd box and it sometimes needs so many file descriptors, but I do not have lots of processes running (maybe 30) is there any other way to increase file descriptor s? thanks +-------------------------------------------------+ | Name : Evren Yurtesen - yurtesen@ispro.net.tr | | S-mail: Talikkokatu 6B 26, 20540 Turku/FINLAND | | Home:+358-2-2379095 Work:+358-40-5185215 | +-------------------------------------------------+ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 13 Oct 1998 16:14:59 +0200 From: "Sturm, Torsten" To: 'Evren Yurtesen' Subject: RE: file descriptors-correction- > Evren Yurtesen [mailto:yurtesen@ispro.net.tr] wrote on > Tuesday, October > 13, 1998 3:29 PM > > hello, > I guess maxusers 128 is working right...sorry I made a mistake... > the problem is, would 128 and bigger numbers at maxusers effect > the system performance?
