Hi !
I am running redhat 9 (2.4.20-8) and I have a problem with max number of
open files. I am running a database (mnesia) which manages to open
approx 1024 files.
I have tried different approaches to increase the limit of open files
but it does not work. I have tried changing:
/proc/sys/fs/file-max
/etc/security/limits.conf
ulimit -n
Today I run my process as root (but have also tested with another user).
Are 'root' treated special regarding the open-files limits ?
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
131072
/etc/security/limits.conf
* soft nofile 2048
* hard nofile 63536
ulimit -a
open files (-n) 2048
ls /proc/<mnesia-pid>/fd/ | wc -l # gives approx 1024
