Hi Arana, Thanks for your reply. As you are suggesting in your reply that incresing the filedescriptor can be dangerous. Is there any other way to get rid of this warning, because this warning makes browsing dead slow,and the box is deployed at our client place. I have to do things fast. If you have any other suggestion besides the increasing file descriptor please suggest me. --- Gonzalo Arana <gonzalo.arana@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I would recommend you to run ./configure with > --with-maxfd=you_desired_limit and --enable-epoll > > Watch for messages like this in configure output: > checking if epoll works... yes > Using epoll for the IO loop. > ... > Maximum filedescriptors set to 131072 > ... > > Having large number of FDs with select is dangerous. > Also, I recall > there was an issue on increasing FD_SETSIZE on glibc > (Linux uses > glibc). > > HTH, > > On Jan 24, 2008 11:46 AM, Bijayant > <bijayant4u@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello list, > > > > I am using squid as proxy server on gentoo box. > All of a sudden from > > 2nd January in my cache.log i am seeing the error > > > > WARNING!
