Actually it is quite literal. You do not have enough room on your file table to accomodate all the files the system is trying to handle. I solved this issue in another context by increasing my maxusers from the 10 I had, to 20 (and recompiling of course ). No problem since. If you are using FBSD 4.5 or later you could also try maxusers=0. This is said to choose parameters according to your memory. -- Regards, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
