Okay, I'm just not getting it. Postgres complains that it is out of
file descriptors. The kernel is not complaining about any such issues.
So I should lower the max_files_per_process
value and this will rid us of the 'out of file descriptors' error?
Is it because the max_files_per_process is greater then the number of
file descriptors that are alloted to Postgres by the kernel?
Yes. Which is kinda weird, because Postgres actually tests the number
when it starts, so that if you set the number too high, it will decrease
it according to what the kernel allows.
Maybe the test is newer than the version you are running -- what was it,
again?
