However, just before the system crashes I'm able to run 'fstat | wc -l' and see that I'm nowhere near my kernel.maxfiles setting. Can somebody tell me if that kernel message could be generated by something other than having too many files open? Is there a better method than using fstat to determine how many files are open? Thanks in advance for any help. -Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
