I'm having a problem using FreeBSD 3.1. I installed from the latest CDRom using the 'impatient' method. I've setup two systems, one as a database server, the other as a webserver. Neither are as yet in active production use yet. The install worked fine and everything seemed fine. However, sometime shortly after I started installing various software packages I started getting syslog message like the following: Mar 21 02:00:24 data syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system Mar 21 02:00:24 data last message repeated 3 times Mar 21 02:00:24 data /kernel: file: table is full Mar 21 02:00:24 data syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system Mar 21 02:00:24 data last message repeated 3 times Mar 21 02:00:24 data /kernel: file: table is full Mar 21 02:00:24 data syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system Mar 21 02:00:24 data last message repeated 3 times Mar 21 02:00:24 data /kernel: file: table is full Mar 21 02:00:24 data last message repeated 12 times I get the same messages on both systems and after trying to reboot one of them, I find it will now only boot into single user mode. Is this some kind of blocking factor problem? Do I need to re-create the filesystems or something? Anybody experienced this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
