By the way... there is a place in which tell to the system that the maximum number of open file is different from 1024? Bye Ambrogio
Run the command sysctl -a to see the kernel params. One of them is fs.file-max. Increase the value there to allow kernel to have more file handles. Increase the number of file handles by editing /etc/sysctl.conf and changing the property fs.file-max to some higher number than what you saw earlier. If there isn't a value set already for this property, you need to add the line fs.file-max=some value. Then run sysctl -p to apply your changes to your system. Vijay
