Smith" To: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Too many files open? Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I keep getting a too many files open error on the system and it's hosing it all to hell. A friend of mine who's more familiar with FreeBSD told me I need to rebuild the kernel but he wasn't sure which directive I need to change to fix it. I've got the Complete FreeBSD book, and know how to rebuild the kernel, but it's not entirely clear what I need to change to stop that error from happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Why make history if you fail to learn from it?" - Vir, "Knives" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
