Hello,
I followed your instructions, but there is something extrange... These are
the originals:
bash# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
4096
bash# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
703 377 4096
bash# cat /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
16224
bash# cat /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr
13770 18
Then I changed them as you said:
bash# echo 8192 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
bash# echo 32768 > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
And these are the new values:
bash# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
8192
bash# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
703 377 8192
bash# cat /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
32768
bash# cat /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr
13770 13
Is extrange that in the inode-nr I have only '18' and then '13', isn't it?
In another server the numbers are closer to the ones you sent... (12300
1548)
Is this the origin of my problem?
I'm running RedHat 6.2, with the kernel 2.2.14-5.0.
I'll appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Tomás
