Hi, I am wondering what is the side effects of increasing FD_SETSIZE beyond 1024? Our group have a propiertary web server software that handles a large number of sockets. While increasing the kern.maxfiles and kern.maxfilesperproc gives our web server more connections, select() seems to fail if the descriptor is beyond 1024. Can I just increase FD_SETSIZE and recompile the kernel? I saw some magic numbers in kern/sys_generic.c and am not sure whether there are some side effects. Thanks, Long P.S. Please kindly email me because I am not in the list. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
