[sjs298@cc-6910p ~]$ sysctl fs.file-max fs.file-max = 202566 [sjs298@cc-6910p ~]$ sudo sysctl -w fs.file-max=1000000 fs.file-max = 1000000 [sjs298@cc-6910p ~]$ sysctl fs.file-max fs.file-max = 1000000 To make the changes permanent, you need to add a line to /etc/sysctl.conf: fs.file-max = <a number> Shells also have a maximum number of open files which may need to be adjusted in /etc/security/limits.conf, but I don't think you are hitting that because the message wouldn't come from the kernel. -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> Guidelines: <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines</a> </blockquote></div>
