Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a 3.0 STABLE box that under heavy smtp activity is getting Jan 29 21:37:05 ns3 /kernel: file: table is f Jan 29 21:37:05 ns3 /kernel: ull Jan 29 21:37:05 ns3 /kernel: file: table is full I have maxusers set to 128 ns3# sysctl -a | grep -i files kern.maxfiles: 4136 kern.maxfilesperproc: 4136 Is it really running out of file descriptors, or is it something else ? Am I better off to increase maxusers in the kernel, or adjust other settings ? Frankly I am a little suprised of there being that many open files as I have other servers that burst to busier activity than this one, and that max open files are nowhere near that. Granted, those are 2.2-STALBE systems. ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa, Network Admin * mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications Corp, * http://www.sentex.net/mike Cambridge, Ontario * 01.519.651.3400 Canada * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
