Re: Problem with file descriptors limit

["Guilherme Mundim Torres" <gtorres@icmc.usp.br>]

Hello Cleber,

the number of open files is fine. The ulimit -a returns:

---------------------------------------------
serv:/etc/sysconfig # ulimit -a
core file size        (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size         (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size             (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory     (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size       (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                    (-n) 8192
pipe size          (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size            (kbytes, -s) unlimited
cpu time             (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes            (-u) 45056
virtual memory        (kbytes, -v) unlimited
--------------------------------------------

When the problem started to happen, the first thing I did was to increase
this number at /etc/security/limits.conf with this line:

*                hard    nofile          8192

It seems that the problem is about slapd limits.

Thank you!
