X-BeenThere: freebsd-net@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Networking and TCP/IP with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 15:22:41 -0000 What is the limit of NFS mounts a FreeBSD server can make and how do you modify this limit? The only reference I could find to this question on the FreeBSD lists is http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-July/051947.html I have ran a similar test and the same thing happens after 420 NFS mounts. This is on both FreeBSD 6.0 and 6.2. We have recently run into a problem where we are bumping up against some kind of limit to the number of NFS mounts on our FreeBSD servers. Thanks -- Eric L.
