What does a pstat -T print? If the current number of files is near the max, you can adjust it on the fly by running "sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=####". If you don't want to rebuild your kernel, you can stick the sysctl in rc.local so it runs every time the system is rebooted. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
