Is that all you're running? Are you running any fancy xml nonsense? Xslt? Any other preprocessors? Sometimes those open up a bizzilion temp files.

Hi, if I do this "more /proc/sys/fs/file-max" I get the value 104857. With the command /proc/sys/fs/file-nr I get these values: 3744 1184 104857 I checked these values the last twelve hours. The file numbers never reach the maximum. Olli > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Boyle Owen [mailto:Owen.Boyle@xxxxxxx] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 28.
