Eugen, There is an easier way. All you need to do is increase the 'kern.maxfiles' sysctl. To view the current setting: gabby# sysctl kern.maxfiles kern.maxfiles: 1064 To change the current setting: gabby# sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=2000 kern.maxfiles: 1064 -> 2000 gabby# sysctl kern.maxfiles kern.maxfiles: 2000 gabby# To make this change permanent (across reboots), edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and add the line "kern.maxfiles=2000" to it. (Change 2000 to a value appropriate to your machine, of course.) You may also need to change kern.maxfilesperproc if you are opening a log of sockets/files/pipes from your Apache processes. (This may occur if you're using mod_perl or mod_php and are doing heavy CGI work.) -- Matt Emmerton (matt@gsicomp.on.ca) GSI Computer Services Toronto (Don Mills), ON ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eugen Luca" <eluca@mycybernet.net> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 5:46 PM Subject: System goes down My system goes down, I got this errors in the messages log file: Jan 26 19:21:24 them /kernel: pid 75587 (httpd), uid 65534: exited on signal 11 Jan 26 19:21:24 them syslogd: /dev/console: Too many open files in system: Too many open files in system Jan 26 19:21:24 them syslogd: /var/run/utmp: Too many open files in system Jan 26 19:21:24 them last message repeated 3 times Jan 26 19:21:24 them /kernel: file: table is full Jan 26 19:21:25 them last message repeated 85 times I read found somewhere that is suggested to increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC, but I don't now how much to increase that.
