Increase number of open files
Hello,
Kernel used: 2.4.2-2 Redhat 7.0
Quoted 1 line
From time to time I have to close some Windows on my system to perform
some other tasks, like printing a document.
There are no messages on the log files, but my understanding is a maximum number of concurrent files need to be modified.
Is there some parameters in /proc to set up without the need to reconfigure the kernel ?
Regards,
E. Soriano
/proc/sys/fs/file-max contains the max files. The default is 4096. Try changing it to 8192, that should do the trick.
