Anyone here ever gotten FreeBSD 4.1 to work with more than 8K open file descriptors?? It seems that even if I define FD_SETSIZE to 16384 when I build the kernel, when I look at the limits I see: ux# limit -h cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize 524288 kbytes stacksize 65536 kbytes coredumpsize unlimited memoryuse unlimited descriptors 8232 memorylocked unlimited maxproc 4115 So seem to be running into 8232 as a magic number for some reason, but haven't figured out where this limit is being set. The need for this is an IRC Chat Server, and currently if I allow over 8K clients things start to crash and burn fast. If anyone knows how to get past this limit it would be appreciated.. --- Howard Leadmon - howardl@abs.net - http://www.abs.net ABSnet Internet Services - Phone: 410-361-8160 - FAX: 410-361-8162 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
