-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In updating one of our authoritiative name servers to 5.2-REL, we enountered after two days of running, kernel message like: kern.maxpipekva exceeded, please see tuning(7). appearing to the point to where you couldn't ssh into the box (because sshd died w/ too many files opened). I see so mention of kern.maxpipekva on the tuning man page, and greping only finds kern.ipc entries. % sysctl -a | grep pipekva kern.ipc.maxpipekva: 10485760 kern.ipc.maxpipekvawired: 5242880 kern.ipc.pipekva: 131072 kern.ipc.pipekvawired: 0 Are they the same, and if so, what's are the guidelines for increasing the number?
