Earlier tonight, I had a machine running
FreeBSD 9.0-BETA1 #0: Tue Aug 23 10:07:23 EDT 2011 amd64
become unusable because kern.openfiles hit kern.maxfiles.
I found this ... unexpected.
After rebooting, I have been keeping track of kern.openfiles.
Just after boot, it was about 575. Two hours later, it is over 3100
and climbing slowly but steadily. (There are moments when the
number drops by <5 ... but then goes up again.)
How do I figure out what is doing this? Looking at the process
list (appended) I see no obvious candidates.
