or better yet, include this in  /etc/sysctl.conf:

fs.file-max=8192

I have a RH 6.2 server, which seems to be unable to keep up with the load

operation.

How do I find out how many files are open and by what programs?  Is it
possible to increase the number of files which can be open?
lsof may be a good place to start - it lists all open files; it is a
LONG list! Perhaps you should run it at intervals (and save the output)
to see if there is a single program that runs amok.

/jan

Do a cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max

This will report how many files you can open.

You can increase it by doing

echo 8192 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max

If it solves your problem, put this command in your rc.local file so it will be available everytime you reboot the system.

Regards.
