Maybe it's a pound problem. We started to get the same error under heavy load<br>
after the update to the latest pound version (not happend before).<br>
Also the ulimit -n will increase the max number of open file for the current shell<br>
session. But what if pound is started from the boot scripts? Maybe adding <br>
ulimit -n to the startup script will help. Still i think there is some file not closed problem<br>
with the latest pound.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/20/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">david walters</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:dwalters1@gmail.com">dwalters1@gmail.com</a>&gt; wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div>This is not&nbsp;really a pound problem - set &quot;open files&quot; to a higher value, e.g. I''ve set to&nbsp;8000.</div>
