Public bug reported:
1. 2.6.24-19-server, last updates applied
2. don`t know responsible package
3. In /etc/security/limits.conf:
myuser hard nofile 65500
4. After reboot:
$ulimit -n
1024
I attempted various methods to change ulimits -n permanently. So on forums I
read that following should be done: uncomenting and adding in /etc/pam.d/login
and common-session
session required pam_limits.so
After reboot:
$ulimit -n
1024
Didn`t work. Trying the sysctl method:
$sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
#max number of open files
fs.file-max = 65500
$sudo sysctl -p
$ulimit -n
1024
but
$cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
65500
Reboot.
$ulimit -n
1024
$cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
65500
So... didn`t work either. Trying to set "ulimits -n" just for current session:
$ulimit -n 65500
bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
$sudo ulimit -n 65500
sudo: ulimit: command not found
Testing if the same problem for root:
$sudo su
#ulimit -n
1024
#ulimit -n 65500
#ulimit -n
65500
