This machine serves mailboxes (maildirs) for ~40000 users via NFS. No other process is running on this machine. Sometimes I get "file: table is full" error message. Presumable I have to raise maxusers in the kernel configuration file, but I don't know what is the suggested value of this? There is a formula in the kernel configuration file that the max number of processes is 20+16*maxusers, but I don't have many processes, but a lot of opened files. How many simultaneously opened file per maxusers are available? Thanks, Istvan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
