Hi, I am getting this error message ( /kernel: file: table is full) on my FreeBSD 4.6 box just before the system seems to "freeze" or "lock up". I googled it then went to the handbook and read that I need to tune kern.maxfiles in my kernel. My question is: Is this something I can adjust using /etc/sysctl.conf? If so (and I think I can) what is the syntax I would use (I have not had a need to mess with sysctl.conf before). I am using the generic kernel. How can I know what the value of maxfiles is currently in my generic kernel and how high might I want to raise it? Thanks, Lisa -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
