X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 07:59:09 -0000 Hi, i run into a problem on a FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE Applicationserver (2GB of RAM, 4GB Swap, Dual XEON 3.06Ghz). The box serves the "xfrce4-panel" for 80 Network Clients via ssh so the Users can start OpenOffice.org and firefox from that panel. It is goin very well, except a message (and also a problem) i run into the last day. If i tried to open firefox from a networkclient and received the message "too many files open...". I saw that message on 3 different Network Clients and just after a fresh configure and the first time starting firfox on these Networkclients with that UID. I checked my configuration on the server about "openfiles": kern.openfiles:9306 kern.maxfiles:65536 netstat -m 3952 mbufs in use 732/64000 mbuf clusters in use (current/max) [...] "fstat" shows me 393 on User A and on User B 3459. I did not check the other users. kern.maxfilesperproc: 5898 kern.maxusers: 384 My /boot/loader.conf looks like: kern.maxfiles="65536" kern.ipc.nmbclusters=64000 kern.ipc.nmbufs=256000 kern.maxproc=8192 kern.ipc.somaxconn=4096 So i do not get it, imho the configuration is just fine, but why do i get the message "too many files open..."? Thanks in advance
