Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Running 3.3 and kde Got a file table full from kmail [mail client for kde] So, I increased the maxfiles [to avoid rebuilding the kernal and increasing maxusers at this time] # sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=10000 kern.maxfiles: 1064 -> 10000 Still cannot open kmail. All else appears to be running normally and correctly. -do I have to reboot to fix this? -are there any consequences of of ignoring this [other than the loss of kmail]?
